988642 - a colour I don't agree with because I think it's a bit murky and dull in a way which puts it in a void. It's used extremely rarely too, which probably doesn't help things.
7D9AAA - a colour that mitigates it
By pairing a colour that you would immediately reject with one or more colours that you really agree with, a harmonious composure could potentially be created. Sometimes it's dangerous to kill colours off in your mind. I think Pantone 4505 C is pretty horrendous as a colour, but in some applications a variant of it can work, and paired with 5425 C it can actually look appealing. By placing colours with other colours, our perceptions of them change.
These two colours work together, and as much as they appear mature and overly sophisticated, they can be appropriate for use in a children's story book depending on the genre. They could really look at home on an adventure/exploration book, representing the dirt and water of Earth.
Whilst I think the colours I'd have usually chosen are more appropriate and visually sound, through doing the exercise it has been proven that colours that are independently not suitable or attractive can be made to look good in a different context.
