## Colors that go with #fa3dae

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

- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Medium Sea Green sits directly opposite #fa3dae on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. Seen in: Terminal (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/technical#terminal). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/mediumseagreen
- **Tomato** #ff6347 [harmony, pool: analogous] — Tomato is #fa3dae's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. Seen in: Night Market (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#night-market), Sunset Boulevard (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/warm#sunset-boulevard), Airbnb (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/airbnb). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/tomato
- **Cornflower Blue** #6495ed [harmony, pool: triadic] — Cornflower Blue completes a triad with #fa3dae — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.

- **Light Sea Green** #20b2aa [harmony: split] — Light Sea Green is a split-complement of #fa3dae: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/lightseagreen
