Default pastel batiks

This subject was touched upon a while back but since it didn't impact me at the time I paid little attention to it. Now I need to find a pale batik in very light olive green or blue that tends more to a country blue, or gold or maybe even a few other colors. TO MATCH fabric I purchased at JoAnn's. I need a dark (chose PEWTER TOSSED BRANCH), a medium (chose ROBE SCROLLING DOTS EARTH) and now would like to find a light in any a very pastel of any color in the other two pieces. I'm not beyond choosing a much darker batik and using what I have for the medium and light. I absolutely love the two pieces I did pick out. Not the colors that I went in looking for, but colors I'm absolutely in love with.

I wish I could post pictures, but I don't have a half a day to sit in front of this computer.

JoAnn's on line, has a couple choices that might be good, but it's so difficult to tell on the computer.

Can really pale batiks be found? I may have to resort to a tonal print, but I'm not wanting to.
