Named partners (harmony on the OKLCH wheel, co-occurrence in curated palettes and brand systems, and the neutrals that carry it), best first:

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #eecda5: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.

- **Lilac** #c8a2c8 [harmony, pool: split] — Lilac is a split-complement of #eecda5: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
