Monzo Text 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 12 public brands that use it and the palettes it appears in.
Colors that go with Monzo Text
Charcoal, Dark Olive Green and Sienna 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 text near-black for Monzo Text: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette.
Dark Olive Green #556b2f
triadicshippedDark Olive Green completes a triad with Monzo Text — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.
Sienna #a0522d
complementaryshippedSienna sits directly opposite Monzo Text on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Slate Blue #6a5acd
analogousshippedSlate Blue is Monzo Text's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
Teal #008080
analogousshippedTeal is Monzo Text's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
