How to use it
Suggested roles: #FEDAF1 as the background, #FAA5BA for cards and surfaces, #FC9696 as the primary brand color, #FCC5DE as the accent, and #2A130E for text (a computed darker shade of Salmon, 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.
