Harmony and structure
Four hues are spaced around the wheel in two complementary pairs. It is the richest scheme, and the hardest to balance.
In this palette the hues fall in the blue, rose, yellow and teal families, spread across 268 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: 2 of its 4 chromatic colors lean warm and 1 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.059 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.
Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Silver (#AABAE3) with White (#F7EAFE) at a contrast ratio of 1.67:1, which is below the WCAG AA minimum of 4.5:1. Across all 10 possible pairs, 0 reach the 4.5:1 AA level for normal text and 0 more reach 3:1 for large text.
No other palette color reaches 4.5:1 on the background (#F7EAFE), so this page suggests #131A2D for text, a darkened Silver that reaches 14.96:1. Check any pair you use in the contrast checker.
Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #AABAE3 and #F9B9CE and #AFF9E5 and #F7EAFE may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #F9B9CE and #E1D4B3 and #AFF9E5 and #F7EAFE may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #F7EAFE as the background, #E1D4B3 for cards and surfaces, #F9B9CE as the primary brand color, #AFF9E5 as the accent, and #131A2D 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.
Let one hue take most of the space and use the others sparingly. Control the mood with lightness and saturation rather than hue.
