How to use it
Suggested roles: #A2D7C3 as the background, #C19EAD for cards and surfaces, #AA7D9A as the primary brand color, #4B8370 as the accent, and #052016 for text (a computed darker shade of Slate, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Give one side of the wheel to the background and structure and the other to calls to action. A small amount of the opposing hue goes a long way.
