Pastel candy is a grade of cotton-candy pinks, baby blues and mints with lifted blacks and low contrast.
17Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, in a pastel candy look: soft cotton-candy pinks, baby blues and mint greens, lifted blacks, airy low contrast and a sugary, dreamlike glow. A city street in the late afternoon. A young man in a dark wool coat walks along the sidewalk past shop windows toward a small corner café. Wide shot, the camera tracking sideways beside him at walking pace from the first second. 0–2s: he walks past a row of shop windows. 2–4s: he passes a flower stall and a parked bicycle. 4–6s: he reaches the café and the camera eases to a stop as he does. 6–8s: he opens the café door and steps inside. Throughout: the palette stays soft pastel pink, baby blue and mint with airy low contrast, one continuous take.

The street painted itself pastel to match. Grades that name a palette often restyle the set too, which is useful when you want it.
