The palette reads as rich, layered and celebratory. Its colors run from Raspberry (#C13C8D) at the light end to Charcoal (#173114) at the dark end, covering 28% to 57% perceptual lightness, so it has real range rather than five similar tones.

Harmony and structure
Four low-chroma colors form a calm foundation and one saturated color from the far side of the wheel acts as the accent.
In this palette the hues fall in the green and rose families, spread across 209 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.

That combination suits luxury and hospitality, premium packaging and financial and legal brands, and it is a good fit when you want a design to feel rich, layered and celebratory.
Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Charcoal (#173114) with Raspberry (#C13C8D) at a contrast ratio of 2.89:1, which is below the WCAG AA minimum of 4.5:1. Across all 10 possible pairs, 0 reach the 4.5:1 AA level for normal text and 0 more reach 3:1 for large text.
No other palette color reaches 4.5:1 on the background (#173114), so this page suggests #FFECF5 for text, a lightened Raspberry that reaches 12.49:1. Check any pair you use in the contrast checker.
All five colors stay distinguishable under protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia simulations, which is a good sign, although it is no substitute for testing with real users.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #173114 as the background, #2A3E24 for cards and surfaces, #415839 as the primary brand color, #5F6E5C as the accent, and #FFECF5 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.
