Soft pastels — lilac, mint, sky blue, and warm daffodil yellow — the colours of renewal, new beginnings, and the quiet joy of spring returning.
Easter pastels are spring colours with the saturation gently turned down — gentle, hopeful, and easy to be near. They speak of eggs dyed with natural pigments: the soft purple of an onion skin, the faded blue of woad, the warm yellow of turmeric. They speak of crocuses still uncertain whether to open, of the pale sunshine of April mornings that feels different from any other sunshine in the year. This palette draws on the traditional craft of decorating Easter eggs — a practice that predates Christianity and connects to something older about renewal and the return of the light.
