About this palette
Opulent Raspberry Glacier is palette number 943 of Tintly's fifteen million generated palettes. It is a jewel tone palette built on a tetradic scheme, and it is anchored by Raspberry (#C84A59), the most saturated of its five colors.
The palette reads as rich, layered and celebratory. Its colors run from Raspberry (#C84A59) at the light end to Indigo (#4D0042) at the dark end, covering 29% to 58% perceptual lightness, so it has real range rather than five similar tones.
The five colors
1. ≈ Indigo #4D0042: suggested role background. It is a magenta color with 29% lightness and a chroma of 0.127.
2. ≈ Brown #562E04: suggested role accent. It is a orange color with 35% lightness and a chroma of 0.078.
3. ≈ Pine #025F2C: suggested role surface. It is a green color with 43% lightness and a chroma of 0.113.
4. ≈ Sapphire #1667A0: suggested role primary. It is a blue color with 50% lightness and a chroma of 0.117.
5. ≈ Raspberry #C84A59: suggested role text. It is a rose color with 58% lightness and a chroma of 0.16, 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 magenta, orange, green, blue and rose families, spread across 319 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 0.119 makes the saturation balanced.
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 Indigo (#4D0042) with Raspberry (#C84A59) at a contrast ratio of 3.28:1, 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 (#4D0042), so this page suggests #FFEDED for text, a lightened Raspberry that reaches 13.33:1. Check any pair you use in the contrast checker.
All five colors stay distinguishable under protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia simulations, which is a good sign, although it is no substitute for testing with real users.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #4D0042 as the background, #025F2C for cards and surfaces, #1667A0 as the primary brand color, #562E04 as the accent, and #FFEDED for text (a computed lighter shade of Raspberry, 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.
Typical uses for a jewel tone palette include luxury and hospitality, premium packaging, financial and legal brands and fine-dining menus. 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.
