Bright Winter color palette
Cool-leaning and vivid — electric, glossy, unmistakable.
Who is a Bright Winter?
Bright Winters are vivid and cool-leaning with striking contrast. Dark hair, bright, clear eyes, often with a noticeable ring around the iris, and skin that is clear and neutral-cool. Brightness is the defining trait.
Signs you might be a Bright Winter
- Neon and electric colors look intentional on you
- Muted, dusty colors make you look ill
- People describe your look as 'striking' or 'high contrast'
- Chrome and polished silver suit you; antique gold does not

Colors a Bright Winter should avoid
These come from your opposite season, Soft Autumn. They pull your face in the wrong direction on every axis: neutral-warm where you are neutral-cool, medium where you are medium.
Neutrals
Metals
Polished silver, chrome, bright white gold.
Makeup
Fuchsia, true red, and raspberry lips, bright pink blush, graphic black liner.
Hair
Black, cool dark brown, icy platinum. Mousy and golden tones dull you.
Not sure between seasons?
The other Winter seasons share your coolness but differ in depth or clarity: Deep Winter and True Winter. Your opposite is Soft Autumn. The fastest way to settle it is to see your own face on both.
