## Colors that go with #ea61d8

- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Medium Sea Green sits directly opposite #ea61d8 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

- **Light Sea Green** #20b2aa [harmony, pool: split] — Light Sea Green is a split-complement of #ea61d8: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

- **Dark Sea Green** #8fbc8f [harmony: split] — Dark Sea Green is a split-complement of #ea61d8: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkseagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #ea61d8: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Medium Purple** #9370db [harmony, pool: analogous] — Medium Purple is #ea61d8's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.

- **Yellow** #ffff00 [pool] — Two real palettes: Gumroad's brand system and JetBrains's brand system put Yellow beside #ea61d8, as the supporting colour.
