Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #471C7A and #2F0976 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #471C7A and #2F0976 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #2F0976 as the background, #6B52AA for cards and surfaces, #4E37A6 as the primary brand color, #471C7A as the accent, and #F2F0FE for text (a computed lighter shade of Iris, 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.
