RGB numbers for pastel colordata

Question

How can I get the rgb numbers for colors that show up in the colordata "pastel" so I can use them inside a regionplot? I am combining several regionplots and I would like each of the regionlots to be one color from the "Pastel" color scheme.

This thread Sunset Colors tells me how to get some of the colors but it would be helpful to be able to get the codes for all possible blends on a continuum.

datt = DataPaclets`ColorDataDump`getColorSchemeData["Pastel"][[5]]

{RGBColor[0.761959, 0.470832, 0.940597], 
 RGBColor[0.809695, 0.585618, 0.953269], 
 RGBColor[0.866514, 0.647659, 0.771795], 
 RGBColor[0.909422, 0.699383, 0.647465], 
 RGBColor[0.937061, 0.764486, 0.598975], 
 RGBColor[0.954654, 0.842244, 0.587209], 
 RGBColor[0.962197, 0.913524, 0.594117], 
 RGBColor[0.948179, 0.953299, 0.634088], 
 RGBColor[0.891128, 0.944422, 0.72627], 
 RGBColor[0.771259, 0.887462, 0.856246], 
 RGBColor[0.594516, 0.801371, 0.955499], 
 RGBColor[0.431296, 0.709773, 0.927077]}


Table[RegionPlot[
  x > 0, {x, series[5][[22, 2]]/10000, 
   series[5][[22, 2]]/10000 + series[14][[22, 2]]/10000}, {y, 0, -1}, 
  PlotStyle -> k, AspectRatio -> Automatic], {k, datt}]

Pastel is a continuous function - which values do you want colors for? — Yves Klett, Dec 27 '13 at 22:17

@Mr.Wizard and others. My question is answered exactly in the "Sunset Colors" link but fwiw I found Belisarius' and PlatoManiac's answers more helpful than Simon Woods' answer to the "Sunset Colors" question. — Amatya, Dec 30 '13 at 13:42
@Amatya you can re-Blend the colors you get from the dump. — Yves Klett, Dec 30 '13 at 14:18

You can get the RGB of of your chosen color by clicking on the "Pastel" panel.

ColorData[ "Pastel", "Panel"]

Use it as Colordata["Pastel"][x]:

Manipulate[
 Column[{ColorData["Pastel"], "Argument = " <> ToString[x], 
        Graphics[{FaceForm[ColorData["Pastel"][x]], Rectangle[]}]}], 
 {x, 0, 1}]

Mathematica graphics

So, if you like that color, just use it like this:

RegionPlot[x^2 + y^3 < 2, {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, 
           PlotStyle -> ColorData["Pastel"][0.418]]

Mathematica graphics

Thanks Belisarius, that's very convenient form an implementation point of view. I will probably use your method in the end. – Amatya Dec 30 '13 at 13:40
