- **Light Sea Green** #20b2aa [harmony: complementary] — Light Sea Green sits directly opposite #ec469f 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/lightseagreen
- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony, pool: split] — Cadet Blue is a split-complement of #ec469f: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Diner (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#diner). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cadetblue
