Their complexion can range from very fair to very dark, but it always has a cool undertone.

How to recognize a Deep Winter profile?
Deep Winter is one of the most intense profiles in seasonal color analysis. It usually combines natural depth, visible contrast between hair, eyes and skin, and a harmony that leans cooler than warmer. Colors that are too light, too warm or too muted can make the face look dull, while cool, dark and saturated shades strengthen the overall presence.
These characteristics offer useful clues, but several seasons can look similar. An analysis compares your profile with all 12 seasons.
