Pastel design system explained

The pastel design system pairs #d6f4a4 as its primary hue with #abc383 as the accent. The palette is balanced for pastel aesthetics while keeping text readable against the surface color.

Every swatch is derived from the same two anchor colors, so the design system 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 #d6f4a4 → #9fdbf6 gradient applied to a phone screen, a primary button, and a wave pattern so you can see how the pastel look plays out in a real interface.
