- **Forest Green** #228b22 [harmony: complementary] — Forest Green sits directly opposite Nebula 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/forestgreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the text near-black for Nebula: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Teal** #008080 [harmony, pool: triadic] — Teal completes a triad with Nebula — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash. Seen in: Gemstone (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#gemstone). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/teal
