In this palette the hues fall in the teal and rose families, spread across 193 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 warm: 2 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 0 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.098 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 opulent, warm and luxurious.
Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Moss (#218B68) with Charcoal (#00342A) at a contrast ratio of 3.25:1, 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 (#00342A), so this page suggests #DAFBEC for text, a lightened Moss that reaches 12.45:1. 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: #00342A as the background, #7A3657 for cards and surfaces, #6A0437 as the primary brand color, #147567 as the accent, and #DAFBEC for text (a computed lighter shade of Moss, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Give one side of the wheel to the background and structure and the other to calls to action. A small amount of the opposing hue goes a long way.
