Harmony and structure
Three hues are spaced about a third of the wheel apart. Triadic palettes feel balanced and playful, because no single hue family dominates.
In this palette the hues fall in the green, blue and red families, spread across 246 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.
Temperature and mood
Overall the palette is temperature-balanced: 1 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 2 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.142 makes the saturation rich.
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 (#0F3100) with Azure (#4974ED) at a contrast ratio of 3.42:1, 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 (#0F3100), so this page suggests #ECF2FE for text, a lightened Azure that reaches 12.81:1. Check any pair you use in the contrast checker.
Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #0F3100 and #900523 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #0F3100 as the background, #00367F for cards and surfaces, #900523 as the primary brand color, #1D7D35 as the accent, and #ECF2FE for text (a computed lighter shade of Azure, 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.
