## Colors that go with #e22ca2

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

- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: complementary] — Sea Green sits directly opposite #e22ca2 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/seagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #e22ca2: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Denim** #1560bd [pool] — Designers have shipped Denim with #e22ca2: 3 real palettes, including Maybelline's brand system and Hasbro's brand system, as the accent. Seen in: Maybelline (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/maybelline-com), Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com), Ulta Beauty (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/ulta-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/denim
- **Dark Cyan** #008b8b [harmony: split] — Dark Cyan is a split-complement of #e22ca2: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkcyan

- **Crimson** #dc143c [harmony, pool: analogous] — Crimson is #e22ca2's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
