In this palette the hues fall in the rose, yellow, teal and magenta families, spread across 272 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 warm: 2 of its 4 chromatic colors lean warm and 0 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.04 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 gentle, friendly and a little nostalgic.

How to use it
Suggested roles: #EDF2FE as the background, #ABD2C5 for cards and surfaces, #E6D7B6 as the primary brand color, #FDD8E3 as the accent, and #221427 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.
Let one hue take most of the space and use the others sparingly. Control the mood with lightness and saturation rather than hue.
