Also called Clear Winter. Bright Winter is the clearest of the three Winters. Your coloring is cool to neutral, with very high contrast, often bright eyes against dark hair. Vivid, saturated colors like hot pink, clear red and bright navy match your intensity. Dusty, muted and earthy colors dull you.

Bright Winter has very high contrast, often bright blue, green or grey eyes against dark hair, with cool to neutral skin. The coloring looks clear and sharp, and soft colors look dull beside it.

Vivid, saturated colors match that intensity: hot pink, clear red, electric blue, bright turquoise, bright violet and emerald. Black and pure white work, and so do ink navy and charcoal. Polished silver, platinum and chrome suit the shine, and makeup can be just as clear: a clear red or hot fuchsia lip. Dusty, muted and earthy colors, such as dusty rose, mushroom and olive drab, dull the face.

Bright Winter is often confused with Bright Spring, which is just as bright but warm. If hot pink beats coral, and polished silver beats gold, Bright Winter is the closer match.
