Pastel is ElocinDev in a completely different mood from Insanity: gentle, washed colour grading with a set of presets that swing from candy pink to cool mint. It is the shortcut to that soft cottagecore screenshot look without hand-tuning a colour curve for an hour, and it stays light because most of the work is grading rather than heavy lighting.
