What colors go with tomato

Each match keeps tomato's saturation and lightness and rotates only the hue, so the relationship is the wheel's and nothing else. Any of these can be an accent beside tomato as the primary; the harmony guides explain which rule suits which interface.

Complementary

The opposite hue, 180° away — the strongest contrast, best kept to one accent per screen.

#47e3ff

Split-complementary

The two neighbors of the complement, at 150° and 210° — most of the contrast with less tension, and two accents instead of one.

#47ffbf

#4787ff

Triadic

Two hues at 120° and 240° — three evenly spaced signals, the scheme charts and category colors want.

#47ff63

#6347ff

Analogous

The neighbors at −30° and +30° — calm and cohesive, with emphasis coming from weight and size rather than hue.

#ff4787

#ffbf47

Tints and shades of tomato

Tints add lightness toward white; shades remove it toward black. The hue and saturation stay fixed, so every step still reads as tomato — these are the hover, pressed, disabled and surface variants a single brand color needs.

A UI color palette built from tomato

The eight semantic roles an interface actually uses, derived from tomato as the primary with the split-complementary rule: secondary and accent rotate around the wheel, and the five neutrals take the hue at lightness steps tuned for light and dark mode. This is the same derivation the palette generator runs — open it there to change the rule, drag the anchors, or export the set as CSS variables.

Using tomato in an interface

Orange is the classic accent for a blue or teal interface: it is the complement, and it reads as an object rather than a surface. Keep it to buttons, badges and single highlights; as a background it competes with everything on top of it. Whichever role tomato takes, define it once as a token rather than repeating the keyword: the semantic palette guide covers the eight roles, and the guides to complementary, triadic and the other color schemes explain how to weight the matches above.
