}About this palette
This 4-color pastel palette runs from Pool Party (#C1ECE4) as its lightest tone to Green Buoy (#3AA6B9) as its darkest. It blends Green Buoy, Girlie, Salmon Tartare and Pool Party into a single set you can drop straight into a UI. None of the 6 in-palette color pairings clear the WCAG AA contrast threshold (4.5:1), so pair these colors with black or white for body text.
Gentle, low-saturation tones — ideal for wedding sites, baby brands, soft hero sections, and editorial layouts that lead with whitespace.
