Seasonal Color Analysis WINTER...

A true Seasonal Color Analysis Winter is the most stunning of the Seasonal color palettes.

As the dewy, warmth of Autumn color gives way to the keen winds of the year's end, the colors become CLEAR and BOLD - STRONG and ICY!

Color Characteristics

The Winter palette is made up of 3 color families - COOL DEEP and BRIGHT. 

You will always have a blue undertone to your skin and strong clarity to your coloring, i.e. high contrast. 

Actress Catherine Zeta Jones (above) has grey/brown eyes and, even with a tan, has a blue undertone to her skin giving a pink toned complexion.

A stunning mix of Cool, Deep and Bright

Because the Winter season is made up of 3 different color families every person does not have the elements of COOL, DEEP and BRIGHT in exactly the same quantities.

Your hair: is always strongly colored but it could be from mid to dark brown even black. Or of course you could have grey hair and still retain a strong intensity that supports the Winter colors. 

Your skin: is always Cool but it could be quite fair with a pink tinge, or beige through to olive/dark brown.  

Your eyes: are always clear and strongly colored. The fact that they are Cool is not always immediately obvious - they could be blue, grey/blue, grey/green, brown hazel even black/brown. You will have well defined eyebrows providing a strong contrast against your skin. 

Create balance with WINTER colors

How to bring your color swatch to life

Holding your brand new color swatch in your hand is exciting - but the next thought is often panic as you wonder what on earth you're going to do with it.

It can be really difficult to visualize how all the beautiful color shades will actually transform themselves into an outfit and find their way into your wardrobe!

Colors to avoid

Colors to avoid:

• Dusky or muted shades, wishy-washy pastels - they will flatten your brightness

• Avoid anything with a golden (warm) undertone, it will make your skin look yellow and you look ill!

• Anything creamy, yellow/orange, yellow/greens, ginger browns, rusts, brick red

If you must wear any of these colors then team them with one of your best Winter shades next to your face and create a crisp contrast. A scarf or a collar over a jacket, silver or white pearl earrings will introduce Cooler tones. 

Icons of the Silver Screen

As one of our leading actresses Catherine Zeta Jones shares her dramatic Winter coloring with two former icons of the silver screen.

Both Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor had similar striking looks and looked their best when wearing high contrast colors.

How to wear Winter cols

Ok so you’re a Winter – but how do you actually begin to wear Winter colors?

Looking at the Winter swatch for the first time can be a little alarming. But, although you have one of the brightest Seasons, it usually turns out to be the simplest of all to put into practice.

Check out Clear Winter, Deep Winter and Cool Winter

Sadly, Seasonal Color Analysis is often determined incorrectly.

If you've been analyzed as a Deep Winter, Cool Winter or Clear Winter, then you may not be a true WINTER at all and your color palette is likely to be diluted.
