What defines the Clear Winter palette
Clear Winter (Bright Winter) sits between winter and spring. Hair is dark with cool tones; eyes are extraordinarily bright—electric blue, vivid green, sparkling hazel; skin shows high contrast with cool to neutral undertones. Colors are pure, bright, and saturated—hot pink, royal blue, emerald, true red, electric purple.
The palette sits where deep depth, cool neutral undertone, and high contrast meet. In practice that means clear, bright, cool colors — never too stark, never too flat.

Common mistakes with this palette
- Mixing in the avoid list. Even one muted dusty piece near the face can make your skin look tired. Keep the face-adjacent layer (shirt, scarf, lipstick) firmly inside the palette; let wrong-season colors live in trousers and shoes where they don't cast onto skin.
- Going too literal. The swatches are anchors, not the only acceptable colors. Anything in the same family — same depth, same undertone, same level of saturation — is safe. Deviate in one dimension at most.
- Ignoring metal. Silver, white gold, and pearl flatter this palette; warm yellow gold fights it.
