In a world where individual style reigns supreme, determining the colors that best complement your skin, eyes, and hair is essential. Color analysis, often referred to as “getting your colors done,” traditionally divided people into four main seasons: fall, winter, spring, and summer. However, within these broad categories lie more specific sections like the sophisticated “deep winter” color palette.
Jenny Mahoney, the founder & CEO of Lily’s Color Lab, specializes in a 12-season color analysis and describes the “deep winter” palette as one of the deepest and most dramatic. Individuals in this season can pull off high contrast, high saturation, and depth better than most, creating a striking and bold appearance effortlessly.
So, how do you know if you fall into the deep winter category? Look for warm eyes with hues of hazel, brown, or deep green, dark hair, and possibly an olive skin tone. Mahoney notes that deep winters lean slightly cool in undertone, often appearing more neutral than cool winters. They also tend to have prominent, dark eyebrows that frame their eyes beautifully.
When it comes to fashion, Mahoney suggests that deep winters shine in luxurious, cool, and high-contrast colors like deep pine, emerald green, carmine red, plum, burgundy, black, and navy. These colors highlight the richness and intensity of the palette while creating a bold statement.
While determining your color palette may seem like a daunting task, Mahoney recommends in-person consultations for the most accurate results. Virtual consultations can also provide a more reliable alternative, allowing a trained analyst to select your ideal palette based on your features. When you wear the correct colors for your season, you’ll notice clearer skin, brighter eyes, and an overall fresher appearance with minimal effort.
In a sea of ever-changing fashion trends, discovering your own unique color palette can make all the difference. Embrace the deep winter colors that enhance your natural beauty and embrace the elegance and sophistication they bring to your style.
