How to use it
Suggested roles: #292C15 as the background, #686B50 for cards and surfaces, #545630 as the primary brand color, #373A21 as the accent, and #EDF2FE for text (a computed lighter shade of Iris, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Spend the neutrals on backgrounds, text and surfaces, and save the accent for the one thing you want people to notice: a button, a link or a highlight.
