  • She appears most striking in navy, berry, and cool-toned colors that echo her undertone.
  • Warm tones can make her appear sallow by competing with her natural pink-cool base.

Common Misconceptions

There are frequent misunderstandings about color season classifications. Here are the facts.

Myth: Winona is a Deep Winter because of her dark hair and gothic aesthetic.

Reality: While black works for Cool Winter, Winona is also beautiful in cool jewel tones and icy pastels. Her best looks extend well beyond black into the full Cool Winter palette.
