Winter Frost — Google Calendar Palette
Winter Frost pairs steel and slate blues with pale ice tones — cool throughout, with no warm color anywhere in the set. The restraint is what makes it work: December weeks full of deadlines and events still look composed, like frost on a window rather than a warning board.
