Deep Winter color palette
Cool-neutral and deep - dark jewel tones and high contrast.
Deep Winter sits between Autumn and Winter: cool-neutral undertones with deep colouring and high contrast. Your colours are dark, cool jewel tones - burgundy, pine, sapphire and deep fuchsia - carried against true black and white, where soft or warm colours fall flat.
How Deep Winter reads

Cool-neutral - cool-leaning, deep enough to carry a hint of warmth.

Deep overall, with high contrast - your colouring is strong and striking.
Best chroma
Rich and deep - dark, saturated jewel tones flatter; soft muted shades dull you.

How to wear it
Wear deep, cool colour at high contrast - burgundy, sapphire or emerald against black or crisp white. Your colouring is one of the few that truly carries black; it's soft, warm and muted shades that leave you looking dull.
For makeup, deep berry and true-red lips and defined, cool eyes flatter; skip warm bronzes, peaches and camel tones.
