Your characteristics are COOL and DEEP and you belong to the Winter Season
The WINTER man...
The WINTER man has a blue undertone to his skin with blue tinted veins.
This, stangely, translates into a pink toned complexion, although it's not always initially obvious!
Your skin will be mid to deep beige or even deeper and you will take a strong tan. Even so, the pink tone continues.
Your eyes will be quite strongly colored: Blue, Gray Brown, hazel or even a strong Green. Eyes will often have a deeper grey rim around the iris.
Your hair could have been fair to medium brown or deeper as a small child but you will have darkened well before maturity to a strong ash brown or even brown/black. Even as you grey your brows will remain dark toned.
All the shades in this palette have the same characteristics as your own and will harmonize with and complement your coloring and complexion.
The colors that suit you best will have a COOL undertone (blue undertone) but a deep strong intensity/saturation.
Wearing these colors echoes your natural coloring creating harmony and balance so you look your best.
You can use this color palette to build a co-ordinated wardrobe saving TIME and MONEY!
You'll probably to have an affinity with this color palette.
You can see in the mens color wallet left below, how the cut-out shapes make it easy to identify colors for suiting, shirts and ties. They can of course be used for casual wear too.
Fabric swatch for the Winter man and the Seasonal colors
The WINTER man will look his best in:
Medium to strong colors with a blue undertone.
Your neutral tones for suits and jackets are based mostly on shades of navy, grey, charcoal and black, all of which create a strong contrast.
The sharp icy shades of pink, blue and lilac make a sharp contrast against the deep neutrals, perfect for business shirts.
Also for shirts and casual wear, bring in the more colorful and strong jewel tones of royal blue, deep greens, hot pinks and rich purples.
All these colors have the same color characteristics as your own.
Avoid rich cream and most shades of yellow and brown as they have a Warm
undertone and may 'throw' your complexion and make you look yellow.
Neutrals
Neutrals form the backbone of your wardrobe - the investment pieces such as coats jackets, trousers etc. which take you from season to season
These colors are great for accessories too
Neutrals create the perfect foil for your strong accent colors
Your best neutrals are all COOL and DEEP. All strong shades of blue are good for you; but a deep navy, black and all shades of cool gray.
Your coloring demands a strong contrast so with your bold deep neutrals, a dramatic contrast with white or icy pastels is best.
This strong colorway denotes an authoritative appearance.
Your tie should be chosen from the strong colors in your color swatch.
Avoid cream and most shades of yellow and brown as they have a Warm undertone and may 'throw' your complexion and make you look yellow.
