What is the birth color for January 26th, "Frost-Covered Leaves"?

Connection to the seasons — Frost-bare trees
"Frost-withered" refers to the state in which plants and trees appear withered due to the harsh cold of winter. Deciduous trees, in particular, shed all their leaves, and the sight of only their branches reaching towards the cold sky has long been cherished as a landscape symbolizing the silence and harshness of winter.
However, this sight does not signify the end of life. The trees are dormant, minimizing their life activities in preparation for the budding of spring, quietly accumulating energy. The color of "frost-withered leaves" is a reflection of nature itself during this period of "preparation for regeneration." It is a scene that embodies a uniquely Japanese aesthetic, containing hope for the next season.
