#221111rgb(34, 17, 17)hsl(0, 33%, 10%)oklch(0.202 0.029 19.9)Italian Roast on this page is the real value, not a screenshot: exact hex, RGB, HSL and OKLCH, ten tints and ten shades, classic harmonies, and WCAG contrast with fixes — plus the curated palettes it appears in and any public brand that adopts it.
Charcoal, Amber and 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 is the text near-black that reads cleanly against Italian Roast without the hard edge of pure #000.
Amber is paired with Italian Roast in 18 real palettes, including Heatwave and Trailhead, as the supporting colour.
23 real palettes, including CVS's brand system and Signal's brand system put Blue beside Italian Roast, as the supporting colour.
Blue Violet is paired with Italian Roast in 10 real palettes, including Yahoo's brand system and Prepare your taste buds...'s brand system, as the supporting colour.
5 real palettes, including Cartier's brand system and Graphite Mono put Blush Pink beside Italian Roast, as the supporting colour.
5 real palettes, including Garnet and Woodsmoke put Brown beside Italian Roast, as the lead colour.
4 real palettes, including Mailchimp's brand system and Qatar Airways's brand system put Burgundy beside Italian Roast, as the accent.
Burlywood is paired with Italian Roast in 6 real palettes, including Coffee Bar and Velvet, as the accent.
