Suggested roles: #9DFD9C as the background, #B8D100 for cards and surfaces, #A4EC30 as the primary brand color, #CEB521 as the accent, and #221903 for text (a computed darker shade of Mustard, 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.
