Suggested roles: #0F3203 as the background, #584650 for cards and surfaces, #502D40 as the primary brand color, #715A67 as the accent, and #FFECF7 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.
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.
