Pastel Color Palettes

Do you love the look of pastel color palettes? Do you often struggle with the best combination colors in order to communicate your message? Whether it is creating an infographic, flyer or website design, using pastel colors will give your design a fresh and soft feeling.

Pastel colors are best described as pale, soft toned and close to white with little or no tints of another color. Because it is made from the hue of any other color, it can be easily distinguished using its base color. Most commonly we see this type of color in the protagonists of various anime series.
