How to use it
Suggested roles: #FEDCE5 as the background, #FB9FF2 for cards and surfaces, #E987F8 as the primary brand color, #FDBCD8 as the accent, and #1E162A for text (a computed darker shade of Lavender, 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.
