The book features a range of topics and themes, from nature and travel to love and romance. The writing is characterized by its vivid imagery and poetic language, with each piece crafted to evoke a particular mood or atmosphere. Merrill's prose is often compared to that of the French symbolist poets, and his work is considered an important example of late 19th-century literary style. The book's title refers to the use of pastel colors, which are often associated with softness and delicacy, and are used throughout the collection to create a sense of beauty and elegance.
