In this palette the hues fall in the blue, red, green and violet families, spread across 249 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.

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.

Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #006117 and #C25032 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #7D060F and #006117 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #001767 as the background, #5661AA for cards and surfaces, #7D060F as the primary brand color, #006117 as the accent, and #FEEEE9 for text (a computed lighter shade of Terracotta, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Choose one hue to dominate, one to support and one for small accents, so the palette stays lively without becoming chaotic.
