Choosing winter colors is all about working within your color season. Rather than defaulting to dark basics or following the trends, you can wear deeper or more vibrant tones from your seasonal palette to stay both flattering and seasonally appropriate.
Winter types shine in cool, bold shades like icy blue, black, and jewel tones.
Autumn types glow in rich, earthy tones like olive, rust, and mustard.
Summer types suit soft, cool hues like dusty plum, muted navy, and grey.
Spring types look fresh in warm, bright shades like coral, camel, and turquoise.
You can also mix and match colors within your palette - pairing lighter and deeper tones - to add interest, contrast, and dimension to your winter wardrobe while staying true to what suits you best! :)

Choose colors from your seasonal color palette that suit the winter season. There are a variety of colors in each palette. Normally, for my darker seasons, they stick to more of their neutrals in the winter and those brighter colors, the brighter pops in the warmer months. For the lighter palettes, they can wear more of their neutrals and those darker pops in the winter months. You can wear your palette all year long and there are truly going to be colors in the palette for all the different seasons for you.

Darker colours are warmer than light ones, plus darker ones will stand out more.
