How to use it
Suggested roles: #FCDDB1 as the background, #9DC4F9 for cards and surfaces, #93B9EE as the primary brand color, #BAD9FC as the accent, and #0F1B2D for text (a computed darker shade of Cornflower, because no palette color is readable on that background).

Spend the neutrals on backgrounds, text and surfaces, and save the accent for the one thing you want people to notice: a button, a link or a highlight.
