How to use it
Suggested roles: #B8EEFE as the background, #FAC2C2 for cards and surfaces, #ECA29F as the primary brand color, #F6B1B5 as the accent, and #2A1214 for text (a computed darker shade of Dusty Rose, 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.
