In this palette the hues fall in the teal, violet and orange families, spread across 234 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.

How to use it
Suggested roles: #FEEEE2 as the background, #DBC4AF for cards and surfaces, #C1F4E6 as the primary brand color, #DDD3F5 as the accent, and #00201D for text (a computed darker shade of Sky, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
