Colors that go with Obsidian Shard
Charcoal, Dark Olive Green and Royal 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 #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the text near-black for Obsidian Shard: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette.
Dark Olive Green #556b2f
complementaryshippedDark Olive Green sits directly opposite Obsidian Shard on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Royal Blue #4169e1

Sea Green #2e8b57
