In this palette the hues fall in the violet family, spread across 13 degrees of the OKLCH hue circle. Vivid palettes keep chroma between 0.15 and 0.26, and lightness between 52% and 82%, which is why the set feels consistent.

That combination suits app and product marketing, event posters and social media graphics, and it is a good fit when you want a design to feel lively, bold and full of contrast.
Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Violet (#7525E4) with Lilac (#B9B6FC) at a contrast ratio of 3.55:1, 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 (#B9B6FC), so this page suggests #1C172B for text, a darkened Violet that reaches 9.24:1. 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: #B9B6FC as the background, #987DF8 for cards and surfaces, #8658F5 as the primary brand color, #B794F7 as the accent, and #1C172B for text (a computed darker shade of Violet, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Use the lightest color for large areas, the mid tones for structure, and the darkest for text. Add contrast through lightness, since hue will not do it for you.
Typical uses for a vivid palette include app and product marketing, event posters, social media graphics and entertainment brands. 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.
