Ice & Frost Palette
A 9-color cold palette: glacial blues from deep navy to near-white, with a violet shadow accent — for winter tiles, ice levels and frost effects.
Where to use this palette
- Ice surfaces: #63b0cd base with #a3e3e0 cracks — cracks read as highlights, not lines.
- Shadows shift violet (#7a6fa8), never gray-black — this keeps cold scenes luminous.
- Snow: #e8fbff flat with sparse #a3e3e0 shading; snow is mostly empty space.
- Slate pair grounds icy tiles so levels don't float in blue.
