Suggested roles: #A4F0FD as the background, #32D195 for cards and surfaces, #17E7BD as the primary brand color, #39F1EC as the accent, and #0E1F0E for text (a computed darker shade of Jade, 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.
