Here's a fun fact about pastel colors: The term "pastel" actually comes from the Italian word "pasta," meaning paste. Pastel colors get their name because they resemble the soft, muted shades of pigments used in pastel art, which is a type of art using dry pastel sticks made from powdered pigment and a binder. So, the next time you enjoy the gentle hues of pastel colors, remember their artistic and flavorful origins!
