dusty pink

Faded salmon hue

Dusty pink is a muted, grayish shade of pink—softer and less vibrant than true pink, as if faded by time or covered with a fine layer of dust.

The color appears frequently in interior design, fashion, and weddings, where it reads as sophisticated rather than saccharine: dusty pink bridesmaids' dresses, a dusty pink throw pillow.
