Type of drawing with subdued colors (6)

I believe the answer is:

pastel

(Other definitions for pastel that I've seen before include "art work" , "Delicate shade; crayon" , "Crayon - of soft shades" , "A light delicate shade of colour" , "pigments mixed with gum" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
