No two colors here reach 4.5:1 for body text. Set text in white or black instead — each swatch's HEX is drawn in whichever reads better.
Jewel tones at maximum saturation and depth: ruby red, sapphire cobalt, emerald jade, and amethyst violet. These are the colors of stained glass, illuminated manuscripts, and the gemstone collections that gave them their names. As a palette they are inherently maximalist — rich, layered, and unapologetically celebratory. The challenge of working with jewel tones is maintaining harmony across hues that each carry their own strong personality. The key is consistent depth: keeping all colors in the same luminosity range prevents any single hue from dominating the palette and allows the whole to read as a coherent system.
Jewel tones at maximum depth: ruby, sapphire, emerald, amethyst. The stained-glass, illuminated-manuscript palette. Inherently maximalist — the key is maintaining consistent luminosity across all hues.
Ruby, sapphire, and emerald at full chromatic depth — the maximalist celebration palette for festive, luxury, and editorial contexts.
