Tips for using pastel in design
1Accessibility caution
Pastels have low contrast between each other. Always add a dark anchor color (charcoal, soft black) for text and important elements.
2Modern branding
Pastel palettes are trending in 2025/26 branding. Glossier, Calm and many tech startups use pastels to convey modernity and simplicity.
3Anchor rule
Every pastel palette needs a "dark anchor" (20% of the palette) for structure. Without it, the design looks flat and unprofessional.
4Pastel gradients
Gradients between pastels (pink→lavender, mint→blue) are very popular in landing page backgrounds and app onboarding.
