Deep (Dark) Winter

Also called Dark Winter. Deep Winter is the darkest of the three Winters. Your coloring is cool to neutral and deep, with dark hair and eyes and high contrast. Dark, saturated colors and true black match your depth. Warm, golden and earthy colors make you look tired.

Deep Winter has dark hair and eyes, often near black and deep brown, cool to neutral skin at any depth, and high contrast. The coloring has weight, and it can carry colors that would overwhelm lighter seasons.

Dark, saturated colors match it: true red, burgundy, emerald, cobalt, royal purple and navy. Black and pure white both work, along with charcoal and dark navy. A touch of icy pink, blue or mint lifts a dark outfit near the face. Silver, platinum and gunmetal flatter more than yellow gold. Warm, golden and earthy colors, such as mustard, camel and rust, make the skin look tired or sallow.

Deep Winter's neighbour on the warm side is Deep Autumn. If black looks crisp rather than harsh, and true red beats tomato, Deep Winter fits.
