About This Palette

The true winter palette represents the most balanced expression of winter — cool, vivid, and high-contrast. These colors are clear and bold with blue undertones: think true red, cobalt blue, stark white, and jet black. True winter sits at the center of the winter family, neither as dark as deep winter nor as bright as clear winter. True winters have striking contrast between cool features.
