- **Light Sea Green** #20b2aa [harmony, pool: split] — Light Sea Green is a split-complement of #ef76d9: 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 #ef76d9: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
