## Colors that go with #ec65da

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 #ec65da on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. Seen in: Terminal (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/technical#terminal). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/mediumseagreen
- **Light Sea Green** #20b2aa [harmony, pool: split] — Light Sea Green is a split-complement of #ec65da: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Netlify (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/netlify-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/lightseagreen
- **Dark Khaki** #bdb76b [harmony: split] — Dark Khaki is a split-complement of #ec65da: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkkhaki
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #ec65da: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Yellow** #ffff00 [pool] — Two real palettes: Gumroad's brand system and JetBrains's brand system put Yellow beside #ec65da, as the supporting colour. Seen in: Gumroad (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/gumroad-com), JetBrains (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/jetbrains-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/yellow
- **Goldenrod** #daa520 [harmony: triadic] — Goldenrod completes a triad with #ec65da — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/goldenrod
- **Pale Violet Red** #db7093 [harmony: analogous] — Pale Violet Red is #ec65da's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/palevioletred
- **Amber** #ffbf00 [pool] — Amber is paired with #ec65da in Gumroad's brand system, as the accent. Seen in: Gumroad (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/gumroad-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/amber
