ice-blue

Shade of glaciers

Ice-blue describes a pale, cold blue—the color of glacial ice or frozen water catching light.

The compound evokes both the hue and a sense of chill or sharpness: ice-blue eyes, an ice-blue winter sky.

Like other color compounds, it functions as an adjective: She wore an ice-blue gown.
