Winter Color Combo: Pale Pink & Charcoal Gray

Dark charcoal gray is a great winter neutral for those who want to steer away from the more common white or silver. Charcoal gray has a depth to it that adds a little mystery, and works great with fragile winter pastels like pale pink.




Use pale pink flowers to decorate charcoal gray tables, and add sparkle whenever you can (spray paint tree branches a sparkly gray and hang strands of pink pearls or small pink Christmas tree ornaments on each branch - and then add even more "bling" in the jewelry and shoes you wear).

For weddings, dress the guys and girls in charcoal gray, and mix white flowers into pale pink bouquets for a more dimensional look. Adorn white or silver chiavari chairs with pink ribbons. And don't forget to incorporate your colors into your makeup and nail polish, too! Create a smoky gray eye with lots of eyeshadow, then use a very pale pink lipstick and blush so that all emphasis remains on your eyes.
