How to use it
Suggested roles: #FED9E7 as the background, #FFBFE7 for cards and surfaces, #F29EFC as the primary brand color, #C89EFA as the accent, and #1B172B for text (a computed darker shade of Lilac, 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.
