How to use the palette

Outfits#F6D6DE · #A3B48A · #FBF6EFLayer sheer pink or white fabrics over a moss-green slip or corset. Ruffles, tulle and lace matter as much as color.
Room decor#D9C8EC · #C6D6B4 · #E4D8B8Use lavender or sage bedding, a sheer canopy and warm fairy lights. Dried flowers and mushroom lamps add the forest feel.
Instagram feed & graphics#F6D6DE · #C6D6B4 · #FBF6EFKeep edits soft and slightly hazy with lifted shadows. Petal pink and moss green should be the only strong colors in each frame.
Makeup or nails#E8B4C3 · #D9C8EC · #E4D8B8Try rosy blush, lilac shimmer on the lids and pearl or gold highlighter. Tiny face gems or freckles fit the look.
