Soft
The combination of gentle pastel tints verging on the neutral creates a soft color scheme. Most often, a soft color scheme contains peach a tint that combines the purity of white with the openness and sociability of orange. The feeling produced by a soft color scheme is generally pleasing; calm, inviting, and relaxing, with an understated quality that makes it almost invisible. Peach is a luscious, sensuous color; it is attractive, easy on the eye, and flattering to most skin tones. The silky, sybaritic quality of a soft color scheme makes it one frequently employed in decorating day spas, hair salons, retail stores, and restaurants, as well as residential and hotel interiors.
The implication of quiet luxury and elegance give the soft color scheme almost limitless possibilities in terms of graphic and interior design. The nuance of romance evoked by a soft color scheme is aptly used by fine and applied artists in creating still life and floral designs. Whether used for invitations, personal or bussiness stationery, shopping bags, textiles, interiors, or paintings, the soft color scheme produces a soothing, unhurried, and open appeal.
