#da70d6rgb(218, 112, 214)hsl(302, 59%, 65%)oklch(0.702 0.181 328.7)Orchid 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.
Colors that go with orchid
Medium Sea Green, Light Sea Green and Charcoal 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.
Medium Sea Green #3cb371
complementaryshippedMedium Sea Green sits directly opposite orchid on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Light Sea Green #20b2aa
split-complementshippedLight Sea Green is a split-complement of orchid: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Charcoal #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the text near-black for orchid: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette.
Taupe #483c32
shippedTaupe is paired with orchid in 3 real palettes, including Loom's brand system and Obsidian's brand system, as that palette's text colour.
Dark Sea Green #8fbc8f
