The color story sets three airy pastels (#FDD6DB pink, #D4F4B1 lime, #B8E2FA blue) against a set of very dark anchors in maroon, olive and indigo for sharp contrast and a slightly retro edge. It fits playful editorial layouts, event or campaign sites, and consumer apps that want a candy-bright surface balanced by grounded dark type. With only a few light tints available, keep large backgrounds on the pastels and reserve the darks for text and small blocks.
