Palette discipline
Pastel does not mean low contrast everywhere. A strong collection usually has a warm base, one cool support color, one stronger accent, and a neutral that keeps text readable.
Mood labels
Mood labels help visitors choose quickly. Use practical names like quiet study, soft morning, warm archive, or spring desk instead of vague aesthetic claims.
Collection planning
When a post includes multiple images, keep the palette connected but not identical. Similar contrast and saturation create cohesion while varied accents prevent fatigue.
