Metal color references
Digital colors are a reference. Fabric, screens and printers vary. Metal chips show color only, without reflectance.
Start with your neutrals
Try a pale, middle and deep anchor from this collection. Keep the colors near your face in the cool-neutral direction and adjust contrast to what feels comfortable.
A little color, used well
Makeup families
Cranberry, cool wine, deep berry are starting color directions. Coverage and natural lip pigment change how a cosmetic shade looks.
Hair color directions
Cool espresso, blue-black, deep neutral brown can be useful swatch families to discuss with a colorist. A season label does not require changing your natural hair.
Colors to approach differently
Warm tan, orange rust and very dusty yellow can dilute the cool depth of this palette. Use them in smaller areas or away from the face if you enjoy them.

Compare with Deep WinterQuestions about Deep Winter
What colors suit Deep Winter?
Start with Cool-neutral color, Deep depth and a Clear finish. The original 72-color collection below shows how those qualities can translate into neutrals, accents and metal-inspired tones.
Can Deep Winter wear black?
Try a dark neutral next to your face and compare it with black. A cool deep season may find black easier; a warm deep season can prefer espresso. A black skirt or bag has less effect on facial color than a high neckline.
Is navy a Deep Winter color?
Navy covers many different blues. A muted, green-shifted navy behaves differently from a very saturated blue-black. Use the color checker with the exact hex code, then compare the actual fabric in daylight.
What hair color works for Deep Winter?
Possible starting families include cool espresso, blue-black, deep neutral brown. Your natural depth is a useful reference, but dye, gray hair and lighting do not change what you are allowed to wear. Test a temporary swatch before a permanent color change.
How do I tell Deep Winter from a neighboring season?
Change one quality at a time: warmth, depth or clarity. Keep the fabric size, finish and lighting similar. Compare whether the color is the first thing you notice, or whether your face feels equally defined.
