Named partners (harmony on the OKLCH wheel, co-occurrence in curated palettes and brand systems, and the neutrals that carry it), best first:

- **Olive Green** #808000 [harmony: complementary] — Olive Green sits directly opposite Indigo Static on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/olive
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the text near-black for Indigo Static: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette.

- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: split] — Sea Green is a split-complement of Indigo Static: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/seagreen
