- 1粉彩色的（淺淡柔和的顏色）；（名詞）粉彩筆、粉彩畫
Pastel describes colors that are pale and soft, like light pink, light blue, or light yellow, rather than bright and bold. As a noun, a pastel is also a type of soft, crayon used by artists for drawing, and a picture made with these crayons.
From the word’s history
From French pastel, from Italian pastello, from Medieval Latin pastellum, from Latin pasta 'dough, paste'.
借自法文，經義大利文 pastello 源自拉丁文 pasta「麵糊」。
組成This word probably comes from an Italian word related to 'paste', since the soft crayons were originally made from a paste-like mixture.
