In this palette the hues fall in the magenta family. Pastel palettes keep chroma between 0.03 and 0.08, and lightness between 80% and 96%, which is why the set feels consistent.

Suggested roles: #FEEAFA as the background, #E0E8DE for cards and surfaces, #C7D0C5 as the primary brand color, #D3DAD1 as the accent, and #151D14 for text (a computed darker shade of Silver, because no palette color is readable on that background).
