A soft, dreamy pastel pink. Great as a flattering selfie light, a cute aesthetic background or a calm night-time glow.
Pastel Pink Screen
Pastel pink is pink softened with a lot of white, giving a light, milky tone with a faint cool, lilac undertone. It has high lightness and gentle saturation, so it never looks harsh, even at full brightness on a large monitor.
Pastel pink feels sweet, innocent and relaxed. It is closely tied to spring, candy, nurseries and the soft-girl and kawaii aesthetics, and it was part of the wave of pale pinks that made millennial pink a design trend. It suggests comfort and playfulness rather than drama.
For the softest light, use it at full brightness and keep it a little further from your face; pastel pink fills shadows without adding a strong tint. As a background it pairs well with white props and gold or silver accents. If it looks too cool on camera, nudge the hue toward 340 with the HSL slider.
Lighter tints are mixed with white and darker shades with black, from lightest to darkest.
