Harmony and structure

In this palette the hues fall in the yellow, teal, violet, rose and green families, spread across 273 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 0.123 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 Charcoal (#322700) with Emerald (#439616) at a contrast ratio of 3.93:1, 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.

Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #034A44 and #AF245A may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #322700 as the background, #4248A0 for cards and surfaces, #AF245A as the primary brand color, #034A44 as the accent, and #E5F9DF for text (a computed lighter shade of Emerald, 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.
