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 dusty rose. We'll look into where it is used in this article.
What color?
Dusty rose is commonly 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 ashy rose is considered. In fact, any color has a lot of variations, depending on its saturation. Therefore, an ashy rose can be not only gray, but also soft pink and even lilac.
Who created this color? The first mention of it was made in 1977. It was at this time that Colleen McCullough's book The Thorn Birds was published. The main character Maggie Cleary was dressed in pink. This outfit stirred the minds of readers, and when the television series of the same name was released in 1983, the color ash rose took pride of place in the fashion industry.
Successful color combinations
For rose ash to look advantageous, it needs to be properly supported with other shades. By itself, the grayish-pink color is inconspicuous, but if it is complemented with contrasting white, it will sparkle in a new way. The same can be said about deep gray color. It will perfectly complement the dusty rose.
A combination of colors that suit the pink-gray shade: dusty brown, beige, soft cornflower blue, lilac, burgundy.
If you can't pick up desired color, just see what would go better with cool gray. After all, pink ash is clearly not a warm shade, so all colors with a bluish or greenish tint go well with it.
In floristry
It is clear that the color dusty rose was taken from nature. The flower has this color during its wilting period. It becomes pale, its leaves shrink and fall off. But today floristic art is at its best. Therefore, flower designers can give a rose absolutely any shade using paint. The flower is not painted with a brush or an airbrush. The pigment is added to the water in which the rose stands. The flower is saturated with vital energy, and at the same time it takes away color granules. So, within 2-3 days you can make it from standard white or cream rose fashionable dusty.
Where are flowers of this shade used? Well, of course, in wedding bouquets. Most often they are supplemented with decorative greenery and gypsophila. Also, ash roses are often adjacent to white or pink. A bouquet of such flowers is perfect for blondes who want to opt for something delicate.
Guys also present ashy roses to their lovers. But not as a flower of parting, but vice versa. They believe that love will always live, just as a rose can do. After all, even in a dried state, the flower remains beautiful.
In clothes
The color of dusty rose is especially loved by designers. Most often, wedding or evening dresses are sewn in this shade. One of the leading designers Elie Saab constantly uses grayish-pink color in his collections. It is this shade that makes a girl feminine and fragile. But it’s worth considering that, as in the case of flowers, such dresses are suitable for blondes, while a brunette in a dusty rose dress will look almost naked.

In the interior

Many photographers love the color dusty rose. That’s why they design their studios in exactly this way. Moreover, not the entire photo studio, but one location may look like this.
