Cool Winter, also called True Winter, is the coolest winter season: blue-based undertone, medium-to-deep value and bright, clear chroma. Typical coloring includes skin with a cool pink, cool olive or blue-based cast from fair to very deep, dark brown to black hair (or early silver), and eyes in cool dark brown, gray, icy blue or cool green, with high contrast. Use it as a self-guided starting point.
