jewel tone
Rich, saturated color
Jewel tone describes rich, saturated colors resembling precious gemstones—emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red, amethyst purple.
The term appears in fashion, interior design, and cosmetics to evoke depth and vibrancy: a jewel-tone palette for fall, jewel-toned velvet cushions.
These colors suggest luxury and intensity rather than pastel softness.
