Charcoal, Cornflower Blue and Dark Orange 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 #fce8ac: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
Cornflower Blue #6495ed
complementaryshippedCornflower Blue sits directly opposite #fce8ac on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Dark Orange #ff8c00
analogousshippedDark Orange is #fce8ac's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
Dark Turquoise #00ced1

Blue #0000ff
