How to use it
Suggested roles: #FEE7FB as the background, #F9DEF1 for cards and surfaces, #E7BAD5 as the primary brand color, #E6CCE6 as the accent, and #231426 for text (a computed darker shade of Silver, 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.
