- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #e255cd: 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
- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: split] — Cadet Blue is a split-complement of #e255cd: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cadetblue
