Suggested roles: #340658 as the background, #3D44B0 for cards and surfaces, #3C0B92 as the primary brand color, #3566A9 as the accent, and #E6F4FF 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.
