Colors that go with #eb6e0f
Cadet Blue, Charcoal and Amber 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 #5f9ea0
complementaryshippedCadet Blue sits directly opposite #eb6e0f on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Charcoal #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the body-text near-black for #eb6e0f: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.

Blue #0000ff
shipped7 real palettes, including Sketch's brand system and Readymag's brand system put Blue beside #eb6e0f, as the accent.

Cobalt Blue #0047ab

Cornflower Blue #6495ed
split-complementshippedCornflower Blue is a split-complement of #eb6e0f: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

shippedCrimson is paired with #eb6e0f in 5 real palettes, including Burger King's brand system and Pizza Hut's brand system, as the lead colour.
