How to use it
Suggested roles: #001E16 as the background, #00312E for cards and surfaces, #07645D as the primary brand color, #044A3E as the accent, and #D7FBF1 for text (a computed lighter 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.
