About this palette
Lush Raspberry Canyon is palette number 6,039 of Tintly's fifteen million generated palettes. It is a jewel tone palette built on a tetradic scheme, and it is anchored by Raspberry (#A95485), the most saturated of its five colors.
The palette reads as rich, layered and celebratory. Its colors run from Raspberry (#A95485) at the light end to Ink (#330D54) at the dark end, covering 27% to 56% 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 violet, red, green, cyan and rose families, spread across 308 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 0.11 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 Ink (#330D54) with Raspberry (#A95485) at a contrast ratio of 3.23:1, 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 (#330D54), so this page suggests #FFECF5 for text, a lightened Raspberry that reaches 13.99:1. Check any pair you use in the contrast checker.
Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #007686 and #A95485 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #330D54 as the background, #435A0E for cards and surfaces, #6A1D00 as the primary brand color, #007686 as the accent, and #FFECF5 for text (a computed lighter shade of Raspberry, 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.
