Soft Summer and Dark Winter are considered close, but the value contrast level of Dark Winter is much higher and Soft Summer is very low contrast. Also, the color saturation of Dark Winter is much higher. The advice? Neither can truly borrow from one another with any degree of success.
Dark Winters may have felt comfortable wearing black all their life, but a very dark brown may be more of an enhancement.
Add in some of Autumn’s texture when wearing fabrics, while sticking closely to your palette.
Tumbled gemstones of garnet, amethyst, jade and malachite-polished to a smooth shine-can be worn successfully.
Dark Winter does not equal jet black eye liner. Deep brown, charcoal or espresso are better choices.
Polished pewter is a metal worth trying in jewelry, belts and handbag hardware.
Three lipsticks to try: Burgundy, plum and cranberry red.
Don’t overlook pine green as a color to wear.
Hammered finishes may be better than solid, polished shine.
Marcasites are beautiful on your coloring.
