#1b8a6brgb(27, 138, 107)hsl(163, 67%, 32%)oklch(0.566 0.107 168.7)Elf on this page is the real value, not a screenshot: exact hex, RGB, HSL and OKLCH, ten tints and ten shades, classic harmonies, and WCAG contrast with fixes — plus the curated palettes it appears in and any public brand that adopts it.
Colors that go with Elf
Charcoal, Crimson and Medium Violet Red lead the list. Each partner is a real named colour with the reason it works — a wheel relationship, a neutral that carries it, or a pairing lifted from a palette or brand system that actually shipped — and every pair opens in the palette tool.
Charcoal #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the text near-black for Elf: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette.
Crimson #dc143c
split-complementshippedCrimson is a split-complement of Elf: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Medium Violet Red #c71585
complementaryshippedMedium Violet Red sits directly opposite Elf on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

Denim #1560bd

Fixes keep hue and saturation and move lightness only, so the suggestion stays on-brand. Ratios are symmetric: the same numbers apply with Elf as the background.
