How to use it
Suggested roles: #8DFED8 as the background, #FDA9D5 for cards and surfaces, #34CFB0 as the primary brand color, #FDBCD4 as the accent, and #042017 for text (a computed darker shade of Mint, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Give one side of the wheel to the background and structure and the other to calls to action. A small amount of the opposing hue goes a long way.
