Deep winter color palette

Deep winter or deep autumn?

Both are dark and share the same depth; the difference is warmth and clarity. Deep autumn suits warm, earthy darks like chocolate, olive and rust. Deep winter suits cool, clear darks like navy, emerald and blue red. If rust and olive look rich on you, look at deep autumn; if they look muddy while burgundy looks clean, deep winter is closer.

Deep winter or true winter?

True winter is the coolest winter, with icy pastels and vivid, pure colors. Deep winter leans on dark colors instead. If icy pink and bright fuchsia look harsh on you but deep jewel tones look right, deep winter is the likelier fit.

True winter color palette

What colors look best on a deep winter?

Dark, cool and clear colors: black, charcoal, deep navy, sapphire, emerald, pine green, burgundy, blue red, magenta and aubergine, with crisp white and icy blue as light accents.

Is dark winter the same as deep winter?

Yes. Different color analysis systems use either name for the same season: the winter with the deepest coloring, which borders on deep autumn.

What hair color suits a deep winter?

Deep shades on a cool or neutral base: espresso, jet black, chocolate brown, or a dark red such as cherry cola or burgundy. Golden, honey and copper tones are the usual mismatch: they add a warmth this palette doesn't carry and lower the contrast it looks best with. For lighter pieces, keep them cool: ash-brown or burgundy lowlights on a dark base sit better than caramel highlights.

Should a deep winter wear gold or silver?

Silver, white gold and platinum are the classic match. Deep winters with a hint of warmth often wear yellow gold well too, especially in bold, polished pieces.
