Harmony and structure
Two hues sit opposite each other on the wheel, each with a close companion. Complementary palettes have built-in tension: the opposite hues make each other look more vivid.
In this palette the hues fall in the green and magenta families, spread across 184 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: 1 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 0 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.056 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 protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #CEFEE3 and #BFEFD8 and #E8CCDF and #EBB8D4 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #CEFEE3 and #BFEFD8, #BFEFD8 and #E8CCDF and #E8CCDF and #EBB8D4 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under tritanopia (reduced blue sensitivity), #CEFEE3 and #BFEFD8 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #CEFEE3 as the background, #E8CCDF for cards and surfaces, #EBB8D4 as the primary brand color, #BFEFD8 as the accent, and #062015 for text (a computed darker shade of Ash, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Give one side of the wheel to the background and structure and the other to calls to action. A small amount of the opposing hue goes a long way.
