How to use it
Suggested roles: #F2B0B3 as the background, #DAA2A4 for cards and surfaces, #A46964 as the primary brand color, #AA8689 as the accent, and #2A1218 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.
Use the lightest color for large areas, the mid tones for structure, and the darkest for text. Add contrast through lightness, since hue will not do it for you.
