About this palette
Regal Mulberry Umbra is palette number 3,239 of Tintly's fifteen million generated palettes. It is a jewel tone palette built on a tetradic scheme, and it is anchored by Mulberry (#832B69), the most saturated of its five colors.
The palette reads as rich, layered and celebratory. Its colors run from Moss (#228D63) at the light end to Ink (#003034) at the dark end, covering 28% to 57% perceptual lightness, so it has real range rather than five similar tones.

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, blue, magenta, orange and cyan families, spread across 272 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 2 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.101 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 Moss (#228D63) with Ink (#003034) at a contrast ratio of 3.43:1, 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 (#003034), so this page suggests #DBFBEA for text, a lightened Moss that reaches 12.90:1. 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: #003034 as the background, #533304 for cards and surfaces, #832B69 as the primary brand color, #0E6BAA as the accent, and #DBFBEA for text (a computed lighter shade of Moss, 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.
Typical uses for a jewel tone palette include luxury and hospitality, premium packaging, financial and legal brands and fine-dining menus. Open it in the generator to lock the colors you love and reroll the rest, or in the visualizer to see it on real layouts.
