Deep Winter: Best colours

About their colours
The colours that suit Deep Winters best are vibrant primary colours, deep neutrals, and jewel and icy colours. Black is really great on you (by the way, only Winters and Deep Autumns can carry a significant amount of black near their faces with success... I am not that keen on Clear Springs wearing huge amounts of black). Pastel colours, on the contrary, drain the colour from their faces and make them look tired, and so do camels, bronzes and muted, dusty greens.
Best neutrals:
  • Black, charcoal, and navy.
  • Browns have to be truly saturated. If Deep Winters have dark circles under their eyes, and they usually do (because of hyperpigmentation), this colour will accentuate them, so concealer seems to be in order here.
Other colours:
These can be used as neutrals in one-colour outfits or accessories, and they do make Deep Winters stand out.
  • Blue reds.
  • Cobalt blue and turquoise.
  • Emerald and forest green.
  • Pure white.
Colour combinations:
  • Charcoal and turquoise or fuchsia.
  • Black and white, especially in graphic prints.
  • Navy and turquoise.
  • Gray and red.

    1. Thanks for commenting! I like that a guy is taking the interest to know what colours suit him, it shows independence of thought and initiative... what others think is quite immaterial!

    2. Kudos to you. There are too many guys who just throw on anything and don't realize that they don't look their best. Color impacts people more than they realize.

  5. hi.

    thanks so much for writting all these articles related to color analysis, especially the one on deep winter vs deep autumn.
    I've read oh so many, but finally this one made it clear to me. you are simply great at explaining the difference, the system. it really shows you have a full understanding of this whole thing and you're not just passing on superficial info.

    thanks so much!
