In this palette the hues fall in the violet, orange and teal families, spread across 254 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 opulent, warm and luxurious.
Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Indigo (#3F095F) with Olive (#A6740F) at a contrast ratio of 3.62:1, 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 (#3F095F), so this page suggests #FEF0DA for text, a lightened Olive that reaches 13.20:1. 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: #3F095F as the background, #5C3000 for cards and surfaces, #7B4994 as the primary brand color, #005852 as the accent, and #FEF0DA for text (a computed lighter shade of Olive, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Choose one hue to dominate, one to support and one for small accents, so the palette stays lively without becoming chaotic.
