What was measured
- Closest neighbours
- ΔE00 14
- how alike two adjacent swatches look
- Darkest to lightest
- 13.75:1
- WCAG contrast across the set
- Lightness covered
- 70 pts
- of OKLCH lightness, 0–100
- Under colour blindness
- ΔE00 12.8
- worst under protanopia
These two are one colour to a reader with protanopia. Fine while the set is read as an order; never use them to mean two different things without a label or an icon as well.
A suggested mapping · derived, then measured
Five colours are not an interface, so this is an offer rather than a token set. It does not clear WCAG AA on secondary text — stated here rather than left for you to discover.

How this palette was built · no hex was chosen by hand
The catalog states a recipe — ramp from hue 168 — and the five colours are derived from it in OKLCH, where a step of lightness is a step your eye agrees with rather than one the hex numbers agree with. That is why the numbers above are properties of this palette rather than claims about it.
