Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Teal (#167664) with Lilac (#D4A9FE) at a contrast ratio of 2.86:1, 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: #D4A9FE as the background, #34C3BA for cards and surfaces, #955BEF as the primary brand color, #DB7621 as the accent, and #01201A for text (a computed darker 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.
Choose one hue to dominate, one to support and one for small accents, so the palette stays lively without becoming chaotic.
