Half "pastel " colors, half "desaturated " colors

Maybe I'm just picking colors, but I don't think gray is pastel. Half of this set comes in a gray or mid-tone shade, and it appears to be something like that. lame. And very disappointing. Well if it was listed as a pastel/urban set then I would be all for it. Or if two conflicting color series are separated and sold separately, then sure. However, it seems needless that half of this set is unsuitable for a pastel theme. Imagine going to a party dressed in pastel colors and half the decorations were taupe. This is what this set looks like. And even if it's a semantic argument and darker tones actually count as pastels, the colors aren't really pretty to look at in relation to the cute/calming aesthetic that pastels are known for. My image is a bit off the true colors (in fact the two pinks look a lot like highlighters) but even personally these midtone colors aren't very pretty or useful for shading the true pastels here. I can't remember the last time I used grey-green to add shadow to a light mint green; probably because I've never done this before and the results are just as ugly as you'd expect. Also, the markers behave as expected: the tips don't fall off, they blend well, and this is really a 48 individual color set, not "47 colors + 1 blender" like some brands do.
