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 green, cyan, violet and red families, spread across 264 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 1 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.112 makes the saturation balanced.
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 Olive (#7B860F) with Charcoal (#04311C) at a contrast ratio of 3.59:1, 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 (#04311C), so this page suggests #F0F6D7 for text, a lightened Olive that reaches 12.91:1. Check any pair you use in the contrast checker.
Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #75050A and #04311C may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #04311C as the background, #1A7682 for cards and surfaces, #563F9A as the primary brand color, #75050A as the accent, and #F0F6D7 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.
Let one hue take most of the space and use the others sparingly. Control the mood with lightness and saturation rather than hue.
