In this palette the hues fall in the cyan, rose, orange and teal families, spread across 294 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.

Suggested roles: #D7FAF4 as the background, #FEE0CD for cards and surfaces, #FEC4E0 as the primary brand color, #B5D3DA as the accent, and #011F21 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.
