True winter

Are you best in silvery-cool colors? Consider true winter or true summer. 

True winter is as cool as it gets, with a frosty or icy quality. The skin texture is hard and sculptural, like marble—and gleaming, like stars in a deep blue sky. 

In your best colors, you appear clear, confident, and in command.

Note: True winter is also known as cool winter.
