A System of Seasons
I started this exploration by taking a look at several color analysis blog posts to try to get a better idea of what colors work well for me and do not.
I have dark brown hair that used to have a reddish tint to it (now it varies from my home color kits), I have olive skin with a yellow tone and blue eyes that are nearly grey. I used to think that this made me a Deep Autumn type, but I never looked good in the recommended colors with deep yellow or golden undertones as they always tended to wash me out.
According to alookinthemirror.com a Deep Winter's best colors are black, white, dark charcoal, and true shades such as true red, green, or blue, burgundy, hot pink and brown/black. Deep Winter's should avoid warm colors like golden orange, brown, peach and light beige (no problem). Most pastels might wash out a Deep Winter, but icy pink will look great. Plus I prefer deep colors, so I think I'm more of a Deep Winter type.
