Winter Color Palette
The Winter palette is cool and clear: true red, magenta, royal blue, emerald and icy pastels, plus the only palettes in the system where black and pure white are genuinely at home. In personal color analysis Winter splits three ways, into Dark Winter, True Winter and Bright Winter, depending on whether depth, coolness or clarity dominates your coloring.
If you are here for a winter palette for a room, a wedding or a brand rather than for yourself, these are the same colors. The three seasons below are the version that applies to a person.
