Could you please explain why you have chosen that particular color for
<branding>?  Should we have separate colors for the light and dark
color schemes, for example?

Thanks.

I took it from the website https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/.

Here are a few other possible combinations taken from the website.  I have attached an image demonstrating them behind the Emacs icon.

 <branding>
   <color type="primary" scheme_preference="light">#7f5ab6</color>
   <color type="primary" scheme_preference="dark">#624195</color>
 </branding>

 <branding>
   <color type="primary" scheme_preference="light">#f4f2e9</color>
   <color type="primary" scheme_preference="dark">#624195</color>
 </branding>

 <branding>
   <color type="primary" scheme_preference="light">#f4f2e9</color>
   <color type="primary" scheme_preference="dark">#7f5ab6</color>
 </branding>

I guess this is the top one in your screenshot?

This color scheme looks fine to me, FWIW.
