When you shop...
- For a Bright Winter, colours look like jewel tones with a barely sunlit or candied effect.
- Don't invest in colours that are dusty or heathery, faded, or have a harvest or rusty feel.
- Focus on bright colours with plenty of pure pigment. Bright means no visible gray, neither neon nor fluorescent. Shine is optional.
- Be flexible about the lightness or darkness of individual items, aiming for an overall fairly light to medium-dark level.
- Know that your black is clear coal black, or darkest brown with a slight purple tinge.
- Look for grays that remind you of ice, aluminum, foil, mercury, stainless steel, and charcoal.
- Find your white in Snowy Owl and tiara whites.
- Your lightest colours are icy clear (avoid light + muted, which defines pastel).
- Use the technique demonstrated by your colour analyst for checking colour warmth/coolness (hue). Your temperature level is cool-neutral. Every colour is selected for that amount of coolness. Getting the colour temperature right is key for good results, and hard to 'guesstimate' without comparing to a fan.
