In this palette the hues fall in the red, green and blue families, spread across 240 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: 2 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 1 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.125 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 Terracotta (#B15A59) with Charcoal (#00371A) at a contrast ratio of 2.86:1, which is below the WCAG AA minimum of 4.5:1. Across all 10 possible pairs, 0 reach the 4.5:1 AA level for normal text and 0 more reach 3:1 for large text.

Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #6A1102 and #00371A may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #00371A as the background, #3F7632 for cards and surfaces, #0344BB as the primary brand color, #6A1102 as the accent, and #FFEDEC for text (a computed lighter shade of Terracotta, 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.
