How to use these colors

Use Honeydew (#F1FAEE) as the background or base color, Delft blue (#1D3557) for text and key blocks, and Amaranth (#E63946) only for details: a logo, a line, a button. Luxury shows when the boldest color appears sparingly.

Fonts that match

A classic serif like Playfair Display or Cormorant Garamond for headings and the logo, with a clean sans serif like Montserrat or Lato for body text. Use letter-spaced capitals for labels and menus.
