The Pastels Collection includes five offerings, each with a light color palette and a unique pattern. Two of the controllers, the 'Pastel Dream' and 'Pink Lemonade,' have an ombre-style gradient of colors that resemble a sunny or cloudy day, while the 'Lavender Swirl' and 'Purple Camo' controllers boast a soft take on traditional army camouflage. The final controller in the collection is the monochrome 'Cotton Candy Blue' which is the most universal of the set as it does not have an intricate design pattern. The PowerA Pastels controllers are available online from PowerA, as well as at third-party retailers such as [GameStop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dualsense-v2), at an MSRP of $37.99 USD per controller. This collection is officially licensed by Xbox and [Microsoft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunkissed-vibes).
