Suggested roles: #00136C as the background, #135C7B for cards and surfaces, #063F71 as the primary brand color, #19758F as the accent, and #D4FAFD for text (a computed lighter 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.
