About this palette
Opulent Mulberry Nectar is palette number 6,543 of Tintly's fifteen million generated palettes. It is a jewel tone palette built on a tetradic scheme, and it is anchored by Mulberry (#B30359), the most saturated of its five colors.
The palette reads as rich, layered and celebratory. Its colors run from Iris (#4C65E7) at the light end to Ink (#360B4A) at the dark end, covering 26% to 56% perceptual lightness, so it has real range rather than five similar tones.

1. ≈ Iris #4C65E7: suggested role text. It is a blue color with 56% lightness and a chroma of 0.198, which makes it clearly saturated.
2. ≈ Mulberry #B30359: suggested role primary. It is a rose color with 50% lightness and a chroma of 0.199, which makes it clearly saturated.

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 blue, rose, yellow, teal and violet families, spread across 310 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 0.131 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 rich, layered and celebratory.
Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Iris (#4C65E7) with Ink (#360B4A) at a contrast ratio of 3.31:1, 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 (#360B4A), so this page suggests #EDF2FE for text, a lightened Iris that reaches 14.37:1. Check any pair you use in the contrast checker.
Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #B30359 and #00463B may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #360B4A as the background, #614D0E for cards and surfaces, #B30359 as the primary brand color, #00463B as the accent, and #EDF2FE 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.
Let one hue take most of the space and use the others sparingly. Control the mood with lightness and saturation rather than hue.
