Clear Winters have the contrast typical of Winters, they also have a clarity in their features, reminiscent of Spring. They commonly have very bright and striking eyes that allow them to shine in colors that might overwhelm others.

Deep Winter, also known as Dark Winter, is set apart by its depth. The colors are cool, strongly saturated, and relatively pure.

Cool or True Winter is flowing into the Summer category. It is the coolest of all the seasons and includes a bit of a blue undertone in each of its recommended colors.

Savannah really shines in silver, her eyes pop, and her skin looks vibrant rather than waxy.

There are so many individual colors in Savannah’s dark hazel eyes and the hunter green spotlights this. The wrong color leaves her eyes looking muddy and flat.

Savannah has such beautiful contrast in her coloring and cobalt blue has equal strength. According to David Zyla in Color Your Style, this would be her dramatic “look at me” color, and matches the color of her veins on the underside of her wrist.

Cool, contrasted Winter complexions can wear a depth of coloring that overwhelms less pigmented complexions. The depth in their eyes, hair, and lips is made more vibrant by corresponding colors.

The fuchsia pink mirrors the pretty pigments in Savannah’s lips and cheeks. It has no orange as fleshy colors can be particularly unflattering on Winter complexions.

One of the unique aspects of Deep Winter is their ability to wear shaded colors, or hues with black mixed into them. Burgundy picks up the subtle highlights in her hair and shows off its shine.

While many women find safety in wearing black, Savannah glows in it. The same goes for pure, optic white without any yellow.

How to Pick your Best and Worst Colors (Get Started)

Light Summers have an ethereal quality to their complexions. They are very low in contrast and can wear pale colors that wash out others.

Soft Summer is the warmest of the Summer seasons, it is bordering the Autumn category and has a neutral quality rather than purely cool.

Cool Summer has more contrast than other versions of Summer, it is flowing into the Winter category and includes shades (colors mixed with black).

Meet Breann Bowman of Things We Fancy, also a Cool & Delicate, Light Summer. Her profile page states that she never wears color, but maybe these candy colored options can give her some inspiration. Follow along through the color draping to uncover your own coloring. Each drape represents a season: Warm & Rich – Autumn, Warm & Fresh – Spring, Cool & Delicate – Summer, Cool & Brilliant – Winter.

I absolutely adore Breann in Silver, it shows off the beautiful rosy tones in her skin and makes her blue-green eyes pop.

It’s easy for a light summer to get overwhelmed by color. With the Mint, we see her first, not the color.

Her best blue, Powder Blue, really shows off her flawless skin.

So many other complexions are drained by pastels, but the subtle contrast between Breann’s eyes, hair, and lips means she shines in pastels like Lavender.

Breann’s cheeks and lips are enviable, and I love how the Powder Pink picks up that healthy glow. I also love the coral on her. It’s not uncommon to be able to borrow a color or two from a similar season, in this case Light Spring, which shares a similar saturation.

Breann really shines in Cranberry, unlike the Burgundy which has too much black and leaves her looking pale, and the Flame and Brick which are too warm, the Cranberry contrasts the green in her eyes and brings out the pink in her cheeks. It’s one of my favorite colors on her and according to David Zyla in Color Your Style, this would be her Romantic Color..

Orange may not be the new black for Breann, but peach is definitely the least offensive of the group. It matches up with the subtle contrast in her complexion.
