What Is a Muted Pastel Palette?
A muted pastel palette uses desaturated, soft colors that feel calm and modern. Unlike bright colors, these tones reduce eye strain and work great for minimal websites, digital planners, and social media layouts.
Why Designers Prefer Soft Colors
Soft colors make text easier to read and give a premium feel. Brands like Notion, Linear, and Cal.com use muted palettes for this reason. This tool generates those exact tones automatically without you guessing hex codes.
