Suggested roles: #AAD819 as the background, #23AB57 for cards and surfaces, #7BBF47 as the primary brand color, #1F956F as the accent, and #00201D for text (a computed darker 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.
