How to use it
Suggested roles: #E3E3FE as the background, #A4C8FA for cards and surfaces, #5CBFFB as the primary brand color, #C3D1FF as the accent, and #001F27 for text (a computed darker shade of Turquoise, 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.
