- **Tomato** #ff6347 [harmony, pool: analogous] — Tomato is #fc4a9d's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #fc4a9d: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
