"Millennial pink had its reign - a yearslong chokehold where pale rose hues washed over homes, workspaces, and coffee shops alike. Then came neutrals of all kinds, ushering in a more minimalist era, followed by warmer, moodier palettes. Now, designers say the pendulum is swinging back toward an aesthetically delightful palette that's in between both of these camps. For professional designers, these icy pastels offer color without the commitment of a fully saturated tone."
"Dulac paints a poetic picture of a frosty-toned space: "These pale frosted hues feel like morning's first light after an overnight snowfall - the world hushed, the sky a silvery blue-gray streaked with pale pink and blush as the sun rises, even the shadows on the snow tinged with the faintest lavender," she says. "They evoke dawn, and with it that feeling of clarity, a fresh start, hope.""
Icy pastel, frosted paint colors are gaining popularity as a middle ground between millennial pinks, neutral minimalism, and warmer moody palettes. These pale, frosted hues offer color without committing to fully saturated tones. They feel lighter and more uplifting, creating a fresh, vacation-inspired aesthetic that embraces softness and playfulness. In a landscape of constant alarming headlines, frosted palettes provide a sense of new beginnings and possibility while remaining immersive without the confinement of deep, moody colors. Frosted tones evoke dawn-like clarity and hope. Home updates can begin with frosted-toned decor such as antiqued silver mirrors, vintage silver candlesticks, or mother-of-pearl catchalls.
