Split Complementary color palettes

Split-complementary is a colour-theory scheme, not a mood: take one hue, then pair it with the two colours either side of its opposite. The result is high contrast that's less jarring than a straight complement, and these palettes lean into it hard — electric sets like Magenta #EB07F0 with Emerald #2CF26F and Lime #93F25D, or Cobalt #4B0DF0 against fuchsia and green.
