If you care about accessibility and these colours have any sort of function or meaning within the app, I’m afraid I would advise against using these colours as they were created for a quite specific use-case — colouring tokens within “fluid” text.

If you just like them aesthetically and all they’re meant to do is look good, feel free, though I have to say they weren’t designed with aesthetics in mind at all.

For accessible categorical colour schemes, check out Okabe-Ito, Paul Tol or colour brewer.

Thanks, that's very kind of you.

I'm using an open source calendar component to visualize my agenda. I have various types of events I'm showing (scheduled work items, events and completed items). I'm having a difficult time deciding on a color scheme.

Upcoming events should be emphasized. Completed work items are useful information ("I finished this") but they should be least noticeable.

I'll play around with both your color scheme and the references you provided just to see if something sticks.
