About this palette
Radiant Mulberry Terrace is palette number 13,593 of Tintly's fifteen million generated palettes. It is a vivid palette built on a tetradic scheme, and it is anchored by Mulberry (#AE196E), the most saturated of its five colors.
The palette reads as energetic, confident and attention-seeking. Its colors run from Peach (#FCAC8A) at the light end to Mulberry (#AE196E) at the dark end, covering 50% to 81% perceptual lightness, so it has real range rather than five similar tones.

Harmony and structure
Four hues are spaced around the wheel in two complementary pairs. It is the richest scheme, and the hardest to balance.
In this palette the hues fall in the rose, yellow, teal, blue and red families, spread across 309 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.
Temperature and mood
Overall the palette is warm: 3 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 1 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.131 makes the saturation rich.
That combination suits app and product marketing, event posters and social media graphics, and it is a good fit when you want a design to feel energetic, confident and attention-seeking.
Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Mulberry (#AE196E) with Peach (#FCAC8A) at a contrast ratio of 3.60:1, 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.
No other palette color reaches 4.5:1 on the background (#FCAC8A), so this page suggests #29121C for text, a darkened Mulberry that reaches 9.52:1. 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: #FCAC8A as the background, #28AD94 for cards and surfaces, #84ABFD as the primary brand color, #9E7A16 as the accent, and #29121C for text (a computed darker shade of Mulberry, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Let one hue take most of the space and use the others sparingly. Control the mood with lightness and saturation rather than hue.
Typical uses for a vivid palette include app and product marketing, event posters, social media graphics and entertainment brands. Open it in the generator to lock the colors you love and reroll the rest, or in the visualizer to see it on real layouts.
