#e06f06rgb(224, 111, 6)hsl(29, 95%, 45%)oklch(0.663 0.168 52.3)Cadet Blue, Charcoal and Cornflower Blue lead the list. Each partner is a real named colour with the reason it works — a wheel relationship, a neutral that carries it, or a pairing lifted from a palette or brand system that actually shipped — and every pair opens in the palette tool.
Cadet Blue is a split-complement of #e06f06: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #e06f06: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
Cornflower Blue sits directly opposite #e06f06 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
