Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #2A076A and #4A1B70, #4A1B70 and #770685 and #8B4C7C and #C93D92 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #2A076A as the background, #8B4C7C for cards and surfaces, #770685 as the primary brand color, #4A1B70 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.
Let one hue lead and let the others support it. Keep one color noticeably lighter or darker than the rest so the layout has a clear focal point.
