In this palette the hues fall in the green and violet families, spread across 191 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.

Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Olive (#617608) with Mustard (#A1D551) at a contrast ratio of 2.96:1, 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.

How to use it
Suggested roles: #A1D551 as the background, #D07FFE for cards and surfaces, #AA6DF5 as the primary brand color, #4F9520 as the accent, and #181D07 for text (a computed darker shade of Olive, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Give one side of the wheel to the background and structure and the other to calls to action. A small amount of the opposing hue goes a long way.
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.
