How to use it
Suggested roles: #FAB070 as the background, #EB5D45 for cards and surfaces, #E5284D as the primary brand color, #F88344 as the accent, and #2A1218 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.
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.
