Pale Turquoise Color
Mint’s brighter cousin. Pale turquoise color (#a5fbd5) has enough green to feel fresh and enough blue to stay calm, which is why spa brands and toothpaste boxes keep circling back to it. Deceptively hard to pair; it needs neutrals to work.
#d4e2eb

Pale Grey Blue Color
Exactly what the name says: pale, grey, and faintly blue. It brightens a small bathroom and keeps a ceiling airy. White and chrome finish it.
#ccd5ff

Pale Phthalo Blue Color
Phthalo blue was first characterized in 1933 and sold as Monastral blue, and its staining strength is so aggressive that a pinhead of it can dominate a whole palette. This Pale Phthalo Blue is that pigment tinted way down, a soft icy periwinkle at #ccd5ff with none of the original’s menace.
#82cbb2

Pale Teal Color
Pale teal is a soft, milky green-blue, the color of oxidized silver or a foggy morning over the sea. Calm and slightly nostalgic, the pale teal color makes a soothing wall shade for a bedroom or spa.
#d0fefe

Pale Blue Color
A tinted white with the barest blue-green shimmer. Pale blue color (#d0fefe) reads as fresh and airy, which is why it appears in bathroom tile, hospital signage, and cleaning product packaging. Almost impossible to overdo.
#fdfdfe

Pale Grey Color
So light it’s almost white. Pale grey color (#fdfdfe) is the shade you use when you want a background barely different from white, useful for separating cards from a body background without adding visible weight. Blink and you’d miss it.
#96ded1

Pale Robin Egg Blue Color
Crayola named Robin’s Egg Blue through its 1993 public contest, and this paler mint-aqua is the softer cousin. It matches the tint on a real robin’s egg closely. Nurseries and bathrooms brighten under it.
#e7d8ea

Pale Grey Magenta Color
A whisper of lilac over a great deal of white. Pale Grey Magenta color (#e7d8ea) gives warmth without pink, which is a narrow and useful trick. Be warned: under cool LEDs it flattens to plain grey.
#b790d4

Pale Purple Color
Think wisteria vines dripping off a summer porch, then dial down the saturation. Pale purple color (#b790d4) holds enough gray to stay grown-up, which is why bridal stationers keep circling back. Set white type on top and this shade turns almost silver.
#d3c7a1

Pale Olive Color
Oatmeal-leaning rather than green-leaning, with the warmth of unbleached linen and old book pages. Pale olive color (#d3c7a1) holds boho interiors together, especially alongside terracotta and rust. Skip it against cool grays; the mix turns muddy.
