True Winter

True Winter neutrals

Neutrals hold a wardrobe together. Choose a pale, a middle and a deeper anchor so outfits have a useful range.

Blue-red, sapphire and clear emerald make a crisp, cool statement. Distinct light-and-dark combinations are often easier than blending many dusty middle tones.

Pale, middle and deep anchors

Choose cool, medium-deep, clear tones.

A practical rule

A neutral need not be beige. A low-chroma blue, green or plum can work as an understated anchor.

For this clearer palette, let a distinct accent stand beside a simple neutral.

Try it with what you own

Choose one item from your wardrobe or makeup kit. Compare it with a chip, then look at the actual item in neutral daylight. Keep notes about combinations you enjoy.
