Webb +Category: Design 2026-06-05 + + uchū pastel + +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). + + 📸[red pastel palette][IMG1] + 📸[red palette][IMG2] + + 📸[pink pastel palette][IMG3] + 📸[pink palette][IMG4] + + 📸[purple pastel palette][IMG5] + 📸[purple palette][IMG6] + + 📸[blue pastel palette][IMG7] + 📸[blue palette][IMG8] + + 📸[green pastel palette][IMG9] + 📸[green palette][IMG10] + + 📸[yellow pastel palette][IMG11] + 📸[yellow palette][IMG12] + + 📸[orange pastel palette][IMG13] + 📸[orange palette][IMG14] + + 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.
