In this palette the hues fall in the violet and blue families, spread across 17 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.

Overall the palette is cool: 0 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 5 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.174 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 regal, deep and precious.
Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Iris (#6960DF) with Cobalt (#171D71) at a contrast ratio of 2.99:1, 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.
No other palette color reaches 4.5:1 on the background (#171D71), so this page suggests #EFF1FF for text, a lightened Iris that reaches 12.88:1. Check any pair you use in the contrast checker.
Under tritanopia (reduced blue sensitivity), #3C0C8F and #171D71 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #171D71 as the background, #6152BA for cards and surfaces, #3831B6 as the primary brand color, #3C0C8F as the accent, and #EFF1FF 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.
