## Colors that go with #f254ab

Named partners (harmony on the OKLCH wheel, co-occurrence in curated palettes and brand systems, and the neutrals that carry it), best first:

- **Light Sea Green** #20b2aa [harmony, pool: complementary] — Light Sea Green sits directly opposite #f254ab on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

- **Tomato** #ff6347 [harmony, pool: analogous] — Tomato is #f254ab's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.

- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony, pool: split] — Medium Sea Green is a split-complement of #f254ab: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Terminal (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/technical#terminal). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/mediumseagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #f254ab: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. Seen in: Lido (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#lido). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
