One thing worth saying
- People often describe Cool Winters as having very fair skin, blue eyes and black hair. In practice—especially when analyzing clients from East Asian, South Asian, African, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, Latina and mixed-heritage backgrounds—you'll find many Cool Winters with medium to deep skin tones, dark brown eyes and naturally black or deep brown hair. What defines the palette is consistent coolness, crisp clarity and naturally high contrast.
