This is an example of what I am talking about in regards to "getting away" with heightened color in reflected light. The light under Whitney's chin, nose and lower lip is reflected light and is pure cadmium orange + yellow ochre (no white added). Despite the bright color, it is not really noticeable unless you're looking for it.

Sorry that I did not have a pastel example. This is oil, but the principle is the same.
