In this palette the hues fall in the teal and rose families, spread across 181 degrees of the OKLCH hue circle. Jewel tone palettes keep chroma between 0.1 and 0.2, and lightness between 28% and 58%, which is why the set feels consistent.

How to use it
Suggested roles: #053131 as the background, #4C6D6B for cards and surfaces, #2B5755 as the primary brand color, #27403E as the accent, and #FFEDEE for text (a computed lighter shade of Raspberry, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Spend the neutrals on backgrounds, text and surfaces, and save the accent for the one thing you want people to notice: a button, a link or a highlight.
