What is the most fashionable color of this year in your opinion? Yellow Red? This is the wrong answer. Today, the trend is soft colors and one of the most fashionable is the shade of a dusty rose. Where it is used, we will understand in this article.
What color is it?
A dusty rose is usually described as one of the most beautiful flowers. Moreover, it is called gray with a pink tint. It is not entirely clear why, then, an ashen rose is considered a
shade of pink. In fact, any color has a lot of variations, depending on its saturation. Therefore, an ashen rose can be not only gray, but also pale pink and even lilac.
Who created this color? The first mention of it was made in 1977. It was at this time that Colin McCullough's book, Singing in a Blackthorn, came out. The main character Maggie Cleary was dressed in a gray dress with a pink tint. This outfit stirred up the minds of readers, and when the television series of the same name was released in 1983, the color of the ashes of a rose took pride of place in the fashion industry.
Good color combinations
In order for the ashes of the rose to look advantageous, it must be properly supported in other shades. The grayish-pink color itself is nondescript, but if you add it with contrasting white, it will sparkle in a new way. The same can be said of deep gray. It perfectly complements the dusty rose.
The combination of colors that are suitable for the pink-gray shade: dusty brown, beige, gently cornflower blue, lilac, burgundy.
If you canβt find the right color, just look for a better fit to cold gray. After all, pink ash is clearly not a warm shade, so all colors with a bluish or greenish tint combine well with it.
In floristry
It is understood that the color of the dusty rose was taken from nature. The flower has such a color during its withering period. It becomes pale, its leaves become clumped and fall off. But today, floristic art stands on top. Therefore, color designers can give a rose absolutely any shade with paint. The flower is not painted with a brush and not with an airbrush. The pigment is added to the water in which the rose stands. The flower is saturated with vital energy, and with it takes away the granules of color. So, within 2-3 days you can make a fashionable dusty out of a standard white or cream rose.
Where are the flowers of this shade used? Well, of course, in wedding bouquets. Most often they are supplemented with decorative greens and gypsophila. Ashen roses are often adjacent to white or pink. A bouquet of such flowers is perfect for blondes who want to opt for something tender.
Also, ash roses are presented by guys to their lovers. But not as a flower of parting, but vice versa. They believe that love will live forever, as a rose can do. After all, even in a dried state, the flower remains beautiful.
In clothes
The color of the dusty rose was especially fond of designers. Most often, wedding or evening dresses are sewn in this shade. One of the leading designers Elie Saab constantly uses a grayish pink color in their collections. It is this shade that makes the girl feminine and fragile. But it is worth considering that, as in the case of flowers, such dresses will suit blondes, while a brunette in a dusty-colored outfit will look almost naked. Incredibly often, you can see evening dresses of this shade on film actresses pacing along the red carpet. Even royal persons periodically wear outfits in trendy colors.
But not only evening dresses are sewn in the color of a dusty rose. Clothing that is considered everyday can also be of this fashionable shade. Today on the shelves of shops you can see cute sweaters, blouses and even pants in pale pink with a gray tint. What can I say, designers in this color even sew coats. It is not surprising that other accessories, such as hats, shawls, clutches, shoes and even watches, are in demand in this shade.
In the interior
Today it is fashionable to hire designers to equip your home. And like in any other field of art, interior design has its own trends. In each season, one or another color can be distinguished, to which experts give their preference. And it can be the same shade that is used in fashion shows of clothes. So, the color dusty rose, from floristic art and from boutiques has also shifted to interior design. Today you can see many living rooms and bedrooms, which are made in grayish-pink shades. Often this color is used to decorate women's boudoirs or bathrooms.
But not all people want to live in a too dull interior. Therefore, the color dusty pink color can be used not as the main, but as an additional. For example, in a white interior, pinkish-gray accents look very gentle.
Many photographers love the color of a dusty rose. Therefore, they design their studios in this version. Moreover, this may not look like the whole photo studio, but one location. This is not surprising, because on a dusty pink color the human figure is not lost, but rather becomes brighter.
