Suggested roles: #D2F5F9 as the background, #B9CAD3 for cards and surfaces, #AABDCF as the primary brand color, #D1E0E5 as the accent, and #111B2A for text (a computed darker shade of Dusty Rose, 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.
