How to use it
Suggested roles: #E5E4FD as the background, #E3ACFA for cards and surfaces, #F97EE9 as the primary brand color, #DAC6FE as the accent, and #28121E for text (a computed darker shade of Rose, because no palette color is readable on that background).

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.
