Bright Winter
Also called Clear Winter.
Bright Winter is the season of the most intense, clean colours, on a cool base. Fuchsia, electric blue, emerald, optical white and black suit it, while greyish or earthy colours dull it.
- Temperature: cool-neutral
- Depth: medium
- Intensity: very high
How to tell if you are a Bright Winter
- Skin: Fair or medium, luminous, with a neutral or cool undertone.
- Hair: Dark brown or black, with strong contrast against the skin.
- Eyes: Very bright: intense blue, green, light grey or vivid dark brown.

Colours best avoided

- Warm Taupe: With no coolness or saturation, it dims your electric effect.
Metals: best in silver and platinum; less so in matte gold.
How to build your wardrobe
Optical white, black and navy as a base. One bright colour next to a contrasting neutral is the formula that works best.
Seasons it is often confused with
- Bright Spring: Bright Spring is just as intense but warm.
- True Winter: True Winter is cooler and a little deeper.
