Pastel Paint Colors

Pastels get dismissed as safe. They shouldn't be. A well-made pastel is one of the hardest things to formulate — it has to hold color and character at minimum intensity. C2 offers 146 pastels built on a full-spectrum system, so every soft green, quiet blue, and pale pink carries genuine pigment complexity. These are pastels that whisper, not mumble.
