#F7CAC9 Pastel Color Palette
A soft five-color pastel palette with pink, peach, green, blue, and lavender tones.
Pastel colors are intentionally light; pair them with sufficiently dark text when readability matters.
Palette colors
#FADADD #CDE7BE #BDE0FE #E2C6FF Each swatch chooses black or white label text using the higher WCAG contrast ratio for that single solid color. Final component contrast still depends on your actual text size and context.
Suggested use
Works best for light, friendly visual systems, invitations, gentle illustrations, and low-intensity UI accents where strong contrast is not required from the palette itself.
