- **Emerald Green** #50c878 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Emerald Green sits directly opposite #ef6ce2 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

- **Light Sea Green** #20b2aa [harmony, pool: split] — Light Sea Green is a split-complement of #ef6ce2: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #ef6ce2: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. Seen in: Auth0 (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/auth0-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
