In this palette the hues fall in the yellow, cyan, violet and orange families, spread across 222 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 2 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.05 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.
