## Colors that go with #e052de

Named partners (harmony on the OKLCH wheel, co-occurrence in curated palettes and brand systems, and the neutrals that carry it), best first:

- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Medium Sea Green sits directly opposite #e052de on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. Seen in: Terminal (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/technical#terminal). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/mediumseagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the text near-black for #e052de: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Light Sea Green** #20b2aa [harmony: split] — Light Sea Green is a split-complement of #e052de: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/lightseagreen
