Colors that go with #fce940
Charcoal, Lilac and Cornflower 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 #fce940: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
Lilac #c8a2c8
complementaryshippedLilac sits directly opposite #fce940 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
