A Note on Pastel Colors

I've been thinking a lot about why I'm so drawn to pastel colors. There's just something so soft and comforting about them. They feel like a warm, gentle hug on a chilly day. Every time I work on this site, or draw with a soft pink or a pale lilac, I feel a little bit calmer.

It's more than just an aesthetic; it's a feeling. It’s the color of cherry blossom petals, of strawberry ice cream, of the sky just before sunrise. It's gentle and unassuming, and it doesn't demand attention the way bright, saturated colors do. There's a certain quiet joy in it that I really cherish.

I think surrounding myself with these colors is a way of creating a little safe haven, a visual space that feels as peaceful as I want my mind to be. It's a small act of self-care, and it makes me happy!
