About this palette

This 4-color pastel palette runs from pale red (#F9F5F6) as its lightest tone to light pink (#F2BED1) as its darkest. It blends pale red, pale pink and light pink 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.
