}About this palette
This 4-color pastel palette runs from White Edgar (#EDEDED) as its lightest tone to Calypso Red (#E26868) as its darkest. It blends Subtle Shadow, White Edgar, Red Mull and Calypso Red 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.
