Russian term
United Kingdom
припыленный
Russian to English
Art/Literary
Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
Context: "Очень хороши большие, свободные, как накидки, вечерние платья-макси сложных припыленных тонов с цветными вставками – эти блоки ткани другого цвета придают стройность силуэту."
Any ideas? The closest word I've found to it is the verb "припылить" (on yandex.ru) which apparently means "arrive, show up, turn up" but that doesn't really help unless it means "new" (ie unseen before?)
Any help as always gratefully received.

: There was one year when the fashion industry decreed that dusty rose and beige was the "in" color combination. You could walk up 5th Avenue in NYC and every single woman you passed would be dressed in dusty rose. Awful!

dusted or muted
as I see it, it is a relatively dark hue with light powdery shimmer of a complementary shade.

Collins: A dusky colour is soft rather than bright - This one adds to your suggestion))
