All five colors stay distinguishable under protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia simulations, which is a good sign, although it is no substitute for testing with real users.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #D4BBFA as the background, #D78EFC for cards and surfaces, #DC5FE1 as the primary brand color, #BE549B as the accent, and #29121B for text (a computed darker shade of Mulberry, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Let one hue lead and let the others support it. Keep one color noticeably lighter or darker than the rest so the layout has a clear focal point.
