Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Teal (#0F918A) with Charcoal (#02322D) at a contrast ratio of 3.63:1, 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: #02322D as the background, #004648 for cards and surfaces, #167175 as the primary brand color, #0D5750 as the accent, and #D5FBF7 for text (a computed lighter 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.
Use the lightest color for large areas, the mid tones for structure, and the darkest for text. Add contrast through lightness, since hue will not do it for you.
Typical uses for a jewel tone palette include luxury and hospitality, premium packaging, financial and legal brands and fine-dining menus. 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.
