## Colors that go with #e73cae

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 #e73cae on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #e73cae: 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
