It is light but that’s the point of pastel!! Are there bits in particular you think are too light? Happy to edit!!

Pastel are pale colours, not light colours. It's just terribly bright all over, with a lot of light colours on light backgrounds making it a bit ugly.
The colours you see on the forum are picked from the header (which took ages to find something like I wanted!!!)
If you could share screenshots or particular issues that would be great; I’ve tested it on the 3 monitors I have and the colours were definitely all readable, but I completely understand it might be different for other people and happy to make adjustments!!
I'm not sure screenshots would adequately display the problem, as it does seem related to individual monitors. The skin as it is is just too bring for me, and I like pastel colours and have even made a pastel themed patchwork quilt in my time (to fit a double sized bed; took two weeks). But if I tilt my screen all the way back and lower the brightness a bit, it looks really good (although the banner is a little bland). I think all the colours need to drop a couple shades of brightness, but if nobody has said this before then maybe it's my monitor.
I'm really liking the pastel skin, I'm using it now just to have a little look and I can see everything no problem on my monitor. Gonna have to go back to Dojo now though because I'm a creature of habit
oh shit wait where's the post reply button on here
oh there it is I'm stupid

Yeah I prefer a bit of contrast between everything which is why I use site skin and couldn't use pastel, it's nice and I like the header thingy but too much white for my liking that's not to say no-one should use it obv
