In this palette the hues fall in the red and cyan families, spread across 190 degrees of the OKLCH hue circle. Vivid palettes keep chroma between 0.15 and 0.26, and lightness between 52% and 82%, which is why the set feels consistent.

Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Pink (#F1B6AC) with Teal (#0C7181) at a contrast ratio of 3.25:1, which is WCAG AA large. Across all 10 possible pairs, 0 reach the 4.5:1 AA level for normal text and 1 more reach 3:1 for large text.

How to use it
Suggested roles: #F1B6AC as the background, #B6817D for cards and surfaces, #A96E68 as the primary brand color, #D09895 as the accent, and #001F25 for text (a computed darker shade of Teal, 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.
