True Winter

A palette, not a prescription

The character

True Winter puts coolness first and often uses clearer colour and contrast. Test blue-based red beside warmer coral, or cobalt beside dusty denim. The guide illustrates a styling system; it is not a scientific assessment of complexion or a promise of how every colour will look.

Screen settings and fabric texture change how colours look. Use these swatches as starting points and compare real fabrics in consistent natural light.
