Happy Sherbet is a vivid light, complementary color palette tagged pastel, light, beige. Dusty Rose and Seafoam sit nearly opposite on the color wheel, so the pairing has real energy; keep one as the accent. These are bold, punchy colors that need generous white space around them. Warm and cool hues are mixed, which adds depth.
