Under deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #A599F7 and #BEA3FE may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.

How to use it
Suggested roles: #E4E2FD as the background, #CCCC30 for cards and surfaces, #DADE37 as the primary brand color, #BEA3FE as the accent, and #1A172C for text (a computed darker shade of Lilac, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Give one side of the wheel to the background and structure and the other to calls to action. A small amount of the opposing hue goes a long way.
