In this palette the hues fall in the rose and teal families, spread across 183 degrees of the OKLCH hue circle. Vivid palettes keep chroma between 0.15 and 0.26, and lightness between 52% and 82%, which is why the set feels consistent.

How to use it
Suggested roles: #FBB0C0 as the background, #1FAF9B for cards and surfaces, #FB8BA3 as the primary brand color, #168E87 as the accent, and #2A1217 for text (a computed darker shade of Raspberry, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Give one side of the wheel to the background and structure and the other to calls to action. A small amount of the opposing hue goes a long way.
