In this palette the hues fall in the teal, violet, orange and magenta families, spread across 254 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.

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.

How to use it
Suggested roles: #FDEAFF as the background, #D1BFE0 for cards and surfaces, #A7F2F4 as the primary brand color, #EAD5BF as the accent, and #02201E 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.
