We determine the best constants ${{C}_{p,\infty }}$ and ${{C}_{1,p}},\,1\,<\,p\,<\,\infty $ , for which the following holds. If $u,v$ are orthogonal harmonic functions on a Euclidean domain such that $v$ is differentially subordinate to $u$ , then

$${{\left\| v \right\|}_{p}}\le {{C}_{p}}{{,}_{\infty }}{{\left\| u \right\|}_{\infty }},\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{\left\| v \right\|}_{1}}\le {{C}_{1,p}}{{\left\| u \right\|}_{p}}.$$

In particular, the inequalities are still sharp for the conjugate harmonic functions on the unit disc of ${{\mathbb{R}}^{2}}$ . Sharp probabilistic versions of these estimates are also studied. As an application, we establish a sharp version of the classical logarithmic inequality of Zygmund.
