About this palette

The palette reads as rich, layered and celebratory. Its colors run from Teal (#2883B9) at the light end to Navy (#200F65) at the dark end, covering 27% to 58% 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 blue, magenta, orange, green and violet families, spread across 269 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: 1 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 2 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.127 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 Teal (#2883B9) with Navy (#200F65) at a contrast ratio of 3.82:1, 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 (#200F65), so this page suggests #E6F4FF for text, a lightened Teal that reaches 14.22:1. Check any pair you use in the contrast checker.
Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #753901 and #00481C may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #200F65 as the background, #753901 for cards and surfaces, #92349C as the primary brand color, #00481C as the accent, and #E6F4FF for text (a computed lighter shade of Teal, 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.
