LESSON 5 · Colors That Make You Glow

Colors That Fade Winters

These shades undermine Winter's natural drama:

  • Warm earth tones: camel, rust, mustard, and terracotta add warmth that conflicts with cool undertones
  • Muted or dusty shades: mauve, sage, and dusty rose make Winters look dull and tired
  • Warm pastels: peach, coral, and warm pink wash out high-contrast features
  • Orange in any form: the warmest color on the spectrum fights against cool undertones
  • Warm browns: chocolate and cognac add golden tones that clash with your natural coolness.
