# Pastel color palettes

Looking for a pastel palette? These 7 are hand-picked — rose, sky, mint and lilac kept soft, each anchored by a single dark ink so the type stays AA — each with role tokens, AA-checked text contrast, and a one-line note on why it works. Open one in the palette tool to lock what you like and regenerate the rest.
