Basic pastel palettes

Why it reads as slop

Several low-saturation, high-lightness tints together feel like a template for a wellness app. Pastels need a dark anchor to hold a page.

Heuristic

A scheme built mostly from 100-200 tints of several hues with no saturated or dark anchor.

Antidotes

• A palette with a full value range and one saturated anchorpractice
