Describing a soft, pale color, such as light pink, light blue, or light yellow.
“The whole object is painted in pastel pink and blue shades.”
“It has a soft pastel color that makes it look almost like a toy.”
Color description is an easy way to add detail in Task 8, and 'pastel' is perfect when the object has soft, light colors rather than bright or dark ones. Use it directly before a color name, as in 'it's a pastel pink,' to show more precise color vocabulary than just 'light-colored.'
Synonyms: light-colored, soft-toned, muted
