How to use it
Suggested roles: #FEA992 as the background, #FE8181 for cards and surfaces, #F75C7F as the primary brand color, #CD427F as the accent, and #271320 for text (a computed darker shade of Purple, 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.
