How to use it
Suggested roles: #FEF0E5 as the background, #DAC4C0 for cards and surfaces, #CBAEB2 as the primary brand color, #E4D9D5 as the accent, and #28131B 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.
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.
