How to use it
Suggested roles: #FFD6DF as the background, #93E1E5 for cards and surfaces, #70C8CA as the primary brand color, #8BD4DC as the accent, and #011F21 for text (a computed darker shade of Turquoise, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Spend the neutrals on backgrounds, text and surfaces, and save the accent for the one thing you want people to notice: a button, a link or a highlight.
