Y2K is a 4-colour retro, pastel palette combining Powder Blue, Mauve and Pale Yellow. It works especially well for posters, merch and nostalgic brand identities, and for baby products, skincare packaging and soft social media feeds. The mix of hues gives you natural accent colours — pick one dominant shade and use the others sparingly.
