pastel colors
Pale, gentle shades
Pastel colors are soft, pale shades created by mixing a color with white, resulting in muted tones like baby blue, mint green, lavender, and blush pink.
They suggest lightness, gentleness, and often springtime or childhood associations.
Pastel colors appear frequently in nursery décor, Easter decorations, and fashion that aims for a delicate or romantic aesthetic.
