Colors that go with Evil Cigar
Charcoal, Crimson and Royal Blue 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 body-text near-black for Evil Cigar: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
Crimson #dc143c

Royal Blue #4169e1
split-complementshippedRoyal Blue is a split-complement of Evil Cigar: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Sea Green #2e8b57

Steel Blue #4682b4
