Swapping colours within the palette

This palette is flexible, and one or two colours can be swapped without losing the overall pastel rainbow feel. When making changes, choose shades with the same soft, muted quality so no single colour feels too bright or dominant. You may also want to use a contrasting colour to make the pastel colour sing!
