About this palette

This 8-color pastel palette runs from Mountain Laurel (#F6C9D2) as its lightest tone to Organza Violet (#708BD4) as its darkest. It blends Mountain Laurel, Manga Pink, Pinky Swear, Barely Bloomed, Enchanted Lavender, Simply Violet, Mystic Iris and Organza Violet into a single set you can drop straight into a UI. None of the 28 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.
