Colors that go with Hobgoblin
Charcoal, Midnight Blue and Mustard Yellow 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.

Tomato #ff6347
split-complementshippedTomato is a split-complement of Hobgoblin: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Deep Pink #ff1493
complementaryDeep Pink sits directly opposite Hobgoblin on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
