How to use it
Suggested roles: #9EFE9C as the background, #03D980 for cards and surfaces, #2DE680 as the primary brand color, #29FAB3 as the accent, and #092012 for text (a computed darker shade of Mint, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Use the lightest color for large areas, the mid tones for structure, and the darkest for text. Add contrast through lightness, since hue will not do it for you.
