How to use it
Suggested roles: #FAAFC7 as the background, #E92867 for cards and surfaces, #FB3D8E as the primary brand color, #FE878F as the accent, and #2A1217 for text (a computed darker shade of Raspberry, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Use the lightest color for large areas, the mid tones for structure, and the darkest for text. Add contrast through lightness, since hue will not do it for you.
