Color palette
Calming pastel color palette for a mental health app explained
The calming pastel color palette for a mental health app pairs #fdcea7 as its primary hue with #f9b4b4 as the accent. The palette is balanced for calming pastel aesthetics while keeping text readable against the surface color.
Every swatch is derived from the same two anchor colors, so the color palette stays harmonious across backgrounds, borders, buttons, and hover states. Copy the CSS below or open it in your favorite tool and apply it immediately.
Use the preview image as a starting point for your own mockups. It shows the exact #fdcea7 → #f9b4b4 gradient applied to a phone screen, a primary button, and a wave pattern so you can see how the calming pastel look plays out in a real interface.
