How to read a Deep Winter color chart
A Deep Winter color chart should show temperature, value, and chroma at the same time. A color can look close on a screen and still be wrong if it misses cool with depth, high contrast, or deep and vivid quality.
Read the chart by groups first: reliable neutrals, face-brightening accents, flexible midtones, and avoid colors that mark the edge of the palette.
Temperature
Deep Winter is guided by cool with depth. The chart should keep colors in that undertone family.
- •royal blue
- •deep burgundy
- •fuchsia
- •dark emerald
Value and contrast
Deep Winter has high contrast, so the chart should avoid color jumps that fight the face.
- •Pair black and white for maximum contrast, then add one jewel-tone accent
- •Navy and burgundy create a rich, sophisticated combination
- •Use white as a brightener against any deep neutral
Chroma
Deep Winter needs deep and vivid colors. The chart boundary is where colors become too loud, dull, warm, cool, light, or dark.
- •dusty pastels
- •warm earth tones like camel or beige
- •muted oranges and yellows
- •warm browns
