Suggested roles: #D0BBFD as the background, #7687F7 for cards and surfaces, #2E7BED as the primary brand color, #B09FFA as the accent, and #071D2B for text (a computed darker shade of Teal, 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.
