Flickr Finds: Pastels

I've never been a fan of pastel anything.  Nothing pastel or pale looks good against my skin and so I've never been drawn to it in my home either.  There's a lot of blacks, whites and highly saturated blues and yellows, but nothing pale or pastel.  But...I will say this.  This pastel color combos found courtesy of Flickr are really gorgeous.  I mean, they're mostly lovely enough to make me consider a pale teacup at least.  So how do you guys feel about pastels?  Yay or nay?
