+
+Abstract
+
+   New update!
+
+Body
+
+   Ever since uchū's inception I've wanted a nice pastel set to go with
+   it. A few days ago I saw someone give advice to another about toning
+   down the saturation. In the browser you can `filter: saturate(0.5);`
+   but I think that uses `#000` and I'd rather use my own black from
+   my palette (as I write this, I realize I could've tried color-mix[1]
+   before the method I'm about to detail).
+
+   I took screenshots of my colors on uchu.style[2], put them in
+   Pixelmator, and played around with opacity on a `Saturation` layer
+   containing `--uchu-yin` (black). These are the results (followed by
+   the default colors).

+
+   I _think_ I like the new pastel variant, I'm unsure. I sat with the
+   original uchū palette for a year before I shared it with the world so
+   this may need some time to grow on me. It's also possible I change
+   some things slightly. My wife loves the red pastels because they look
+   like lipsticks she prefers.
+
+   Special shout-out to Sindre for his excellent System Color Picker[3].
+   It has OKLCH support and looks great.
