Your colouring has real depth and contrast, so you can wear colours that would swamp a softer season and look commanding instead. The key is keeping that depth cool: emerald and sapphire, not rust and bronze. Here's your full Deep Winter colour palette and how to wear it.
Deep Winters have deep, cool, high-contrast colouring: dark brown or black hair with cool undertones, deep cool eyes, and clear skin (any depth) with a cool or neutral undertone. The contrast between your features is striking. You look powerful in dark jewel tones and crisp black-and-white, and washed out in pale, dusty shades. Silver flatters you more than gold.
Wear these near the face — deep, cool and jewel-rich.
This is the one palette where pure black truly belongs. Anchor on black, charcoal, pure white and a cool taupe-grey.
Muted, dusty and warm earthy colours fall flat on you — orange, camel and greyed warm tones. Reach for the cool, clear, deep version instead.
Go cool and bold: cool berry and plum blush; deep berry, true red and wine lips. Charcoal, cool plum and emerald shadows suit your contrast. Avoid warm bronzes, corals and earthy browns.
Dark cool brown, espresso and blue-black. Avoid warm golden/copper tones — they pull against your cool depth.
Lean into contrast — crisp black-and-white looks made for you. Anchor on black or charcoal, add one cool jewel accent (emerald, sapphire, true red) near the face, finish with silver, and you'll look polished and powerful. One bold cool colour worn top to toe also looks striking on you.
Often described as Deep Winter in colour-analysis circles: Lupita Nyong'o, Megan Fox and Kim Kardashian — a style mood, not an official label.
