Using this palette

Three different pale hues held at nearly the same low saturation and light value — that equal-weight, multi-hue flash effect is specifically what makes opal's 'play-of-color' recognizable, versus a single-hue gem that just varies in shade. None of these swatches carry text reliably; this is a decorative/background palette meant to be used as subtle color-shifting fields (gradients, foil effects, iridescent overlays) rather than flat UI blocks. #E8E4DC anchors the set as the base 'stone' tone the color flashes sit within. Suits jewelry, beauty, or ethereal/dreamy branding wanting genuine iridescence rather than a single pastel hue.
