Deep Winter

Deep, intense colors with high contrast and dramatic impact.

Description

Deep Winter, also known as Dark Winter, is rich, dramatic, and intense. This palette thrives in deep, cool shades—charcoal, navy, emerald, burgundy, and magenta. Skin has blue or pink undertones, hair is dark and intense, and eyes are deep with striking contrast. Deep Winter radiates best in colors that are deep, cool, and highly saturated, avoiding light pastels or muted tones. The beauty of Deep Winter is in its boldness—dark, jewel-like shades emphasize contrast and strength. The overall effect is dramatic, cool, and powerful, with colors that highlight intensity and depth.

Skin

The Deep Winter skin palette is defined by striking cool or neutral-cool undertones that range from pale ivory to the deepest ebony. Skin often carries a subtle rosy, ashy, or bluish cast, creating natural high contrast with dark hair and vivid eye colors. This contrast is what makes Deep Winter so distinctive. Silver jewelry usually enhances this skin best, giving it a fresh and luminous edge.

Hair
