| description | Pastel style tokens and row template for the list-styling skill. Soft candy colors, inverted badges (light bg + dark text), rounded cards with a tinted left panel that matches the status hue. Friendly and approachable. Use when the user says "pastel," "soft colors," "candy," "friendly," "approachable," or similar. |
Pastel — Style Tokens + Row Template
Soft, friendly, candy-colored. Inverted badges (light tint bg, dark colored text). Each card has a soft tinted left panel matching the status hue — the whole left side blushes with the status color.
Layout philosophy: Tinted panel card. A soft-colored left panel (about 80px wide) shows the progress percentage in the status's dark color. The panel's background is the status's lightest tint. The rest of the card is white with stacked metadata. Feels warm and inviting.

rowFormatter JSON
Adapt before applying. The column names below ([$Status], [$Progress], [$Deadline]) are example placeholders — replace them with the actual internal column names from the user's list. Also update every status value string ('Draft', 'In Review', 'Revising', etc.) to match the user's actual Choice values. Follow list-styling Step 3.

Checklist — "I Can't Believe That's SharePoint"
- ✅ Full rowFormatter — NOT default column grid
- ✅ TINTED LEFT PANEL that changes color per status — the whole panel blushes
- ✅ Panel shows progress percentage in the status's dark color
- ✅ Overdue panel turns soft pink (#fef2f2) with red text
- ✅ INVERTED badges — light tinted bg + dark text + tinted border (not solid fill)
- ✅ Title Case on badges — not uppercase
- ✅ Soft rounded card corners (12px) — friendly, not sharp
- ✅ Progress bar fills are PASTEL (light pink, light blue, light green)
- ✅ 📅 icon on deadlines
- ✅ Overdue is lowercase "overdue" — soft, not alarming
- ✅ Gentle shadow, not hard offset
- ✅ Different from all others: tinted panel (not sidebar/stripe/stacked/compartments/hero number)
