Winter · Bright + Cool
Bright Winter color palette
Bright Winter, also called Clear Winter, is bright first and cool second: striking contrast and clear eyes that call for the most vivid colors in the system, like electric blue, hot fuchsia, emerald and icy lemon, with black and stark white. Dusty, muted shades such as camel, beige and dusty rose make it look flat.
