Seen in: Night Market (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#night-market), Sunset Boulevard (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/warm#sunset-boulevard), Airbnb (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/airbnb). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/tomato
- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: split] — Cadet Blue is a split-complement of #ef2aa3: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cadetblue
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #ef2aa3: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
