Literary analysis:
Pastel pink in literature often serves as a versatile descriptor, imbuing objects, beings, and scenes with a gentle, dreamy quality. For instance, the term is used to evoke a playful modernity when describing refrigerators that come in a “sunburst of dreamy colors” [1]. In character portrayal, pastel pink softens human features, as illustrated by the delicate hue of a small, prettily shaped mouth [2]. It also paints characters in fashion, where dresses and matching hats in pale pastel pink evoke notions of vintage charm and understated elegance [3]. Finally, the color sets an atmospheric backdrop in architectural narratives, lending warmth and a subtle vibrancy to the setting with deep pastel pink walls [4].
