In this palette the hues fall in the rose, red, green and cyan families, spread across 207 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.

Overall the palette is temperature-balanced: 2 of its 4 chromatic colors lean warm and 1 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.052 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 deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #E2B1B1 and #F2B9B3 and #F2B9B3 and #B5E7CF may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under tritanopia (reduced blue sensitivity), #E2B1B1 and #F2B9B3 and #B5E7CF and #C1EBFD may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #FFEAEF as the background, #B5E7CF for cards and surfaces, #F2B9B3 as the primary brand color, #C1EBFD as the accent, and #2B1213 for text (a computed darker shade of Dusty Rose, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
