Ranked for 2020 in "18 Best GTK Themes for Ubuntu and other Linux Distributions, Material-Black-Frost is a flat, dark-mode theme - based on the popular Nord-Frost-Dark Color Palette - for GTK, xfwm4, GNOME, and Cinnamon desktop environments (https://itsfoss.com/best-gtk-themes/). Material-Black-Frost also has three varieties of matching Icons and Folders.
The Nord developers describe the scheme as consisting of "an arctic, north-bluish color palette, created for the clean and uncluttered design pattern to achieve a optimal focus and readability for code syntax highlighting and UI components." In total, Nord is made up of sixteen, prudently crafted, "dimmed pastel colors for a eye-comfortable, but yet colorful ambiance." (nordtheme.com)
Special thanks to Sven Greb and the Nord team at: https://www.nordtheme.com/community#content, for initially advancing Nord, and for critical inspiration.
This is the matching desktop theme.
FOR ICONS & FOLDERS PRESS BELOW DEFAULT IMAGE ABOVE.
Both the Suru++ and the Numix icons and folders have been carefully crafted to match the Nord-Black-Frost desktop scheme, but they can surely compliment other desktop themes that sport matching color hues.
Special thanks to the Numix team for their inspiration, expertise and contributions at: https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme. The Suru-grounded icon set was initially designed and developed by Sam Hewitt - under GPL3. The original Suru icon set and concept was created by Matthieu James - Canonical Design Team. Core developers are Andrea Bonanni (original author) and Gustavo Costa . Devices icons are inspired by La Capitaine created by Keefer Rourke - under GPL3/MIT. Emoji icons are derived from the Twenoji created by Twitter Team - under MIT. Some icons are based on Numix mimetypes icons created by the Numix Team - under GPL3. Devices and places icons and several apps icons are inspired by Papirus icons created by Alexey Varfolomeev - under GPL3. Numberless icons are from Gravit Designer, under GPL3/MIT.
Manual Installation Is Easy:
For themes: 1) Extract the "tar.xz" file into your "~/.themes/" folder - to install for current user only - or into the "/usr/share/themes/" folder - for the theme to be applied globally. 2) Use the GNOME Tweak Tool or an equivalent app to enable it for your desktop.
If installing manually, make sure to install the dependency: "Murrine theme engine" if you do not already have it; and update your GTK+packages if you have not.
For icons: 1) Extract the "tar.xz" file into your "~/.icons/" folder - to install for current user only - or into the "/usr/share/icons/" folder - for the icons and folders to be applied globally. 2) Use the GNOME Tweak Tool or an equivalent app to enable them for your desktop.
Logging out and then logging back in may be necessary on some operating systems to fully implement themes and icons.
11-11-20: Version 1.6.3 5 months ago
This update sees the addition a [3.38] variant, to accommodate major changes in new operating systems. Modifications include 449 adjustments and additions. This exhaustive upgrade was due to recent shifts in the ecosystem, namely the arrival of GNOME 3.38. Since most users are still on earlier versions, the original and 3.36 variants will still be retained, and refreshed, for the foreseeable future. Also, the two earlier versions had their GS app indicators, and the App-Grid page buttons, colored with the theme's hue, where it was formerly white (enhancement shows up on new variant too).

Complete rebuild, across all platforms, save for gtk-2. Though, there were 229 modifications, there likewise shouldn't be many noticeable changes. A notable exception occurs vis-a-vis some new 'frosty' GNOME menus text. This update principally exists to keep up with evolving Material Design theme standards. Commit: d151bc

Fabulous. Bug report: Gnome calendar, text font color is light gray. Not sure what's wrong on my side (using the 3.36 version on Ubuntu 20.04.2). The tone is a bit darker when comparing with your screenshots.
