Snow crystals color reference
Most snow crystals have six sides or six arms because of the way water molecules join together when they freeze. Their exact shape depends on the temperature and moisture in the cloud where they form. Each crystal follows its own path through the cloud, which is why two are rarely alike.
Colors to reach for
Use white and pale ice blue, with soft lavender and silver in the shadows of each arm.
