How to use it
Suggested roles: #FAAA88 as the background, #FD864A for cards and surfaces, #FB5F0A as the primary brand color, #BD6A21 as the accent, and #2A130D for text (a computed darker shade of Rust, 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.
