What defines the Deep Winter palette
Deep Winter is the deepest of the winters. Hair is dark brunette to true black; eyes are deep brown, charcoal, or dark cool hazel; skin is medium to deep with cool to neutral undertones. Your colors are dark, cool, and dramatic—true black, royal purple, emerald, sapphire, fuchsia.
The palette sits where deep depth, cool neutral undertone, and high contrast meet. In practice that means deep, cool, rich colors — never too stark, never too flat.

Common mistakes with this palette
- Mixing in the avoid list. Even one warm earth 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.
