Pastels

High Value And Low To Medium Saturation

A pastel color is defined as any hue with a high value (lightness) and low to medium saturation (the purity or intensity of the color).

Before “pastel” referred to colors, it referred to an artistic medium, as in a pastel sketch. Pastels could be very concentrated and rich, but more often than not, they had a lower saturation of pigment than, say, oil paints. This is likely why the term made the leap from describing a medium to describing an array of light, faded-looking colors.
