Suggested roles: #EFC0D6 as the background, #AB84B4 for cards and surfaces, #D79EC9 as the primary brand color, #84719D as the accent, and #19172C 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.
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.
