Under deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #FBA6AA and #FA9784 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under tritanopia (reduced blue sensitivity), #FBA6AA and #FA9784 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #FED8EC as the background, #FBA6AA for cards and surfaces, #FA9784 as the primary brand color, #FCBDCE as the accent, and #2A140A for text (a computed darker shade of Coral, 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.
