Harmony and structure

In this palette the hues fall in the green, violet, red and teal families, spread across 237 degrees of the OKLCH hue circle. Pastel palettes keep chroma between 0.03 and 0.08, and lightness between 80% and 96%, which is why the set feels consistent.
Temperature and mood
Overall the palette is temperature-balanced: 1 of its 4 chromatic colors lean warm and 1 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.033 makes the saturation soft.
That combination suits baby and children's brands, wedding stationery and spring campaigns, and it is a good fit when you want a design to feel light, playful and welcoming.

Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #CFEAE0 and #F0EFFE may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #EACFC4 and #CFEAE0 and #CFEAE0 and #F0EFFE may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under tritanopia (reduced blue sensitivity), #ADC5B9 and #C7CBED may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #F0EFFE as the background, #CFEAE0 for cards and surfaces, #C7CBED as the primary brand color, #EACFC4 as the accent, and #0B1F17 for text (a computed darker shade of Silver, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Choose one hue to dominate, one to support and one for small accents, so the palette stays lively without becoming chaotic.
