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

- **Deep Sky Blue** #00bfff [harmony, pool: complementary] — Deep Sky Blue sits directly opposite #fdcaaa on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
