BEST DEEP WARM neutral LOOKS

BEST DEEP WARM neutral LOOKS
These outfits have been put together to create a better understanding of how to mix and match colors, contrasts, and materials to get that right look for your appointed group.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Bright warm red is the best shade of red for this group, although most types of red will look good. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
An all golden brown, warm beige or camel brown look, is very flattering on this group. Add deep, dark or chocolate accessories for contrast. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Pure olive green and most types of deep green are great shades on the neutral. Too muted or too cool colors will be too much in either direction for this "just in the middle" group.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Deep red and deep purple are good colors on the DEEP WARM neutral, since this group is above all deep.
Grey is also a good neutral shade.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Deep green, deep red, black and white, is a fabulous look on the DEEP WARM neutral. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Aqua and pure (or deep) purple are great colors on the DEEP WARM neutral. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Pure green is such a neutral tone that it is one of the most flattering colors for the DEEP WARM neutral. Ivory or cream is the best type of white.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Golden yellow is the best shade of yellow, and ivory or cream the right kind of white for the DEEP WARM true. Pure white will be a little too harsh on this group, but it can work if you wear makeup. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Chocolate brown, rust brown, camel brown and golden brown shades are gorgeous on this group. Combined they give a higher contrast look.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Grey, true red, deep blue, rust red and black combined, is not too much for this high intensity group.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Hot pink is great on the DEEP WARM neutral, as it is on most high intensity types. Combine with black and grey for a deep and dark look.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Bright peach, coral pink, orange and hot pink are fun and fresh colors on a DEEP WARM neutral. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Navy blue, Chinese blue, and aqua are the right kinds of blue for this group. Mint and turquoise are also great shades for the neutral.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Black and beige is a very good look on the neutral. Deep red details just adds to the deep look. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
An all black look can be very flattering on this type. The DEEP WARM neutral has a warmth like a DEEP WARM and the need for contrast as the DEEP COOL.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Deep and dark red, army green combined with darker colors is a great, rich and deep look on the DEEP WARM neutral.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Both gold and silver is equally as good on the DEEP WARM neutral. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Yellow-green, neon or chartreuse are also fresh colors on the neutral.

BEST DEEP WARM soft LOOKS

BEST DEEP WARM soft LOOKS
These outfits have been put together to create a better understanding of how to mix and match colors, contrasts, and materials to get that right look for your appointed group.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Olive green, light and deep shades of brown, black and cream, creates a bold, but still soft look. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Chocolate and golden brown shades are gorgeous on this group.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Bronze will be your absolute best metal, because it's deep, and not very intense, just as the DEEP WARM soft. Gold is your second best look, but silver will look almost just as good, because of the usually fair skin of the DEEP WARM soft (especially when winter pale).

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The combination of peachy pink, neutral grey, golden yellow and deep brown, gives a look few others than the DEEP WARM can pull of. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Color blocking looks fresh on the DEEP WARM soft, but the look just can't be as bold as on the other DEEP WARM's. Especially if all your features have a softer intensity to them. You just can't handle as much drama as the rest of the DEEP WARM's.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Deep warm red and deep navy are examples of the right kind of deep and dark colors for the DEEP WARM soft. Use ivory or cream white instead of pure white to get that crisp contrast look. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
An all ivory or cream outfit is fresh and balanced on a DEEP WARM soft, and one of the best looks for this deep and warm shading. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Mint, Chinese blue, and aqua are the right kinds of lighter coolish green and blue for this group.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Deep olive green and deep red looks hot and mysterious, but yet calm and classy on the DEEP WARM soft.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Keep your best colors close to the face. Black can look good on a DEEP WARM soft, but it's best if it's a warm black, or to compliment it with other warm colors.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Bright peach and hot pink are great warm hues for the DEEP WARM soft. Use them together for an even bolder, but balanced look.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Warm bright red and tomato is great on the DEEP WARM soft. Chocolate brown is a great alternative to black. Make sure the contrasts are well balanced for this group.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Deep forest green, mint and camel look stylish and has a fairy tale feel, on the deep and warm coloring of the DEEP WARM soft.  

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The difference between this soft group and the other DEEP WARM's is that their best DEEP WARM colors has a tiny drop of grey in their them. Also, they do monochromatic combinations really well. Pure colors won't look bad, just not as perfect as the slightly dirty.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
A warm Nautical or 70's inspired look, is great on the DEEP WARM soft. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Pure red and monochromatic combinations are great for the DEEP WARM soft.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Teal is also a good color for the DEEP WARM soft.

Prints looks great on the DEEP WARM soft as well, but the look just can't be as bold as on the other DEEP WARM's. Just keep in mind that your look has to be well balanced.

Picture
Picture
Bright coral, hot pink and true red, are fab colors on the DEEP WARM dark. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Bright warm red, golden yellow, ivory, and bold prints combined with black, is perfect for this intense group.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
For the DEEP WARM dark, combining two different shades of e.g. olive green is a great way to combine colors for a pure and deep look.  

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Bronze and gold are the two best metals for the DEEP WARM dark, but silver will look good too. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Deep Navy, Chinese blue, and aqua are the right kinds of blue for this group.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Deep forest green, mint and warm purple will look stylish on the deep and dark coloring of the DEEP WARM dark.  

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Bold prints, bold colors, orange, dark navy, and pure purple looks awesome on the DEEP WARM dark.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Deep and dark shades of warm red and deep navy blue, are calm colors on a DEEP WARM dark. An all deep look can be quite flattering and classy.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Bright warm red or flame orange is an absolutely incredible color on the DEEP WARM dark. Combine with brown for a warm, golden and glowing look. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Cream, combined with black details is a very balanced way to wear white for someone as dark, as this group.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Olive and brown are two very chill colors for the DEEP WARM dark. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Bold sunny yellow, light and deep shades of brown, and pure purple are great colors for the DEEP WARM dark. The black details add the contrast that is so flattering for any DEEP. Also, this group can handle DEEP COOL colors quite well.

BEST DEEP WARM true LOOKS

16/12/2014

BEST DEEP WARM true LOOKS
These outfits have been put together to create a better understanding of how to mix and match colors, contrasts, and materials to get that right look for your appointed group.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Chocolate brown and golden brown are the right kind of brown for the DEEP WARM true. Can be combined with black for a sharper contrast look.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Orange is a great color for the DEEP WARM true, and color blocking is a look that works really well for this intense group. The aqua blue is a warm enough shade of blue for this type and combined with brown it will give it that right bold and warm feel. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Bronze or gold, combined with darker hues, is an incredible look on a DEEP WARM true. Silver works too, but best on those who are flowing into DEEP COOL.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
An all ivory or cream outfit, or matched with other warm hues such as rust brown, is a fresh, clean and gorgeous look for the DEEP WARM.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Bright olive green, rust and cream are warm and fresh colors, and perfect for the intense DEEP WARM true. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Warmer hues of mint, aqua and pistachio green and Chinese blue, combined with brown is the warm version of bright blue and light pastel green for the DEEP WARM true. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Bright peachy pink or hot pink, and grape purple are great pure and bold hues for the intense DEEP WARM true.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Golden yellow is the best shade of yellow, and ivory or cream the right kind of white for the DEEP WARM true. Pure white will be a little too harsh on this group, but it wont look terrible either (unless you are very pale), it just wont give you the right glow.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Cream, greige, chocolate brown pattern, combined with black and cream, gives a light but sharp look. This might not be the boldest look for such an intense group, but the DEEP WARM true needs contrast, pure hues and golden tones, and this outfit has it all, in a more subtle way. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
A forest green coat and an apricot outfit, combined with golden brown accessories, gives a warm fairy tale look to a DEEP WARM true.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Peachy pink, golden beige and golden brown will give a rich and creamy look to the DEEP WARM true. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Camel, golden brown and sand are great colors for the DEEP WARM true.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Golden and mustard yellow are fresh colors for the DEEP WARM, combine with brown for an all warm look. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Peachy pink, moss green, teal green, and hot pink are all good colors for the DEEP WARM true.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Bright and pure warm red or orange red looks amazing on the DEEP WARM true. Chocolate brown is the better alternative to black for a perfect look. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Greige and warm beige are the kind of warm hues of beige best for the DEEP WARM true. Make sure the colors aren't too dirty and still looks fresh. The black details compliments the dark intensity of the DEEP.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Rust red and rust brown are two great colors for the earthy intense look of the DEEP WARM true. Sand and deep navy details adds contrast and freshness to the look. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Black is best when combined with a warm and pure color. The high contrast looks great on a DEEP WARM

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Navy blue is the right kind of dark blue for the DEEP WARM, combined with, gold, rust red and deep green, it is a look only a DEEP can get away with. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Deep orange combined with army green and deep and dark chocolate brown, is a look that would overwhelm most other types or even look artificial and odd. But for the DEEP WARM, this looks cool, bold, striking, and warm.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
This outfit has a bold color combination that none other than the DEEP WARM, can make look cool.

DEEP WARM : THE RULES OF WEARING COLORS

15/12/2014

5 Comments

 
DEEP WARM
If you suit gold or bronze best, but silver can work as well. Bright orange-red, ivory, chocolate, golden brown, bright peach, golden yellow and forest green are your best colors. In general, vibrant, pure, deep, warm, bold, golden colors are fantastic on you. Black can look quite good on you, but it's not your best color. Your natural coloring is deep, dark, earthy, golden and warm. The color of your eyes and hair, and at least the undertone of your skin, is rich and warm. Some DEEP WARM can flow into DEEP COOL, and wear some DEEP COOL colors. Dusty, cool tones and soft, cool pastels, does not do you justice. Try to keep your look bold and warm, and remember, a true DEEP WARM is earthy with a high contrast level. A typically good look for a DEEP WARM is the classic, stylish, bold, warm and glowing, 70's glam-look. 
Kourtney Kardashian, Mindy Kaling, Solange, Queen Latifa, Olivia Munn, Rachel Bilson, Halle Berry, Vanessa Minnillo, Kristin Kreuk, Jessica Alba, Audrina Partridge, and Julia Roberts.

IF YOU ARE A DEEP WARM, YOU MAY HAVE
Eyes: Dark brown, black-brown, dark hazel, dark green and some instances a very, deep and dark shade of blue
Hair: Black-brown, black, dark to deep chestnut, medium brown. 
Skin: Can be quite pale, very dark, or anywhere in between. Bronze, black, olive, golden, golden beige and ivory. May have freckles. Usually a neutral or warm undertone, and if you have some cool undertones it may indicate that you flow towards Deep Winter. 

Don't be too concerned with whether or not the people in the photos match your identical color combination, such as tan, hair color and eyes. The most important thing is that you have the right contrast level, and look good in the colors on the chart. If you do feel the need to identify with the DEEP WARM "poster girls", best to google the names above without makeup, natural hair color and in daylight. Makeup, lighting, spray-tans, and photoshop can change the overall appearance a lot. 

A typical DEEP WARM, are those whose overall coloring is rather dark, deep and warm. 
All DEEP WARM's are a mix between earthy warm and cold and dark. In other words, a mix between CLEAR COOL and MUTED WARM (in classical terms an autumn with a dash of winter), as they are equally dark an deep. 
Some of them may have a slight coolness to a few of their features, such as black hair or eyes, blueish hazel eyes, or pale skin, which means they are flowing into DEEP COOL. 
Being right in the middle between warm and cold (DEEP COOL and DEEP WARM) makes it possible for both of these types to look good in some of the same colors, such as gold, true red, deep green, navy blue and flame orange. The difference is that a DEEP WARM looks better in warm shades and has a warm undertone to their overall look. You can tell by the fact that they look great in ivory, deep and dark forest green, deep and bright warm-reds, golden browns, peachy pink, and warm golden yellow. Gold and bronze are the metallics that compliment a DEEP WARM best, because it has the right glow for their intense warm look. Silver works best on those who flow into DEEP COOL.
The difference between the other earthy and warm groups; such as the more delicate, MUTED WARM and SOFT WARM, is that the DEEP WARM is darker, deeper and has a higher level of contrast.

A DEEP WARM look, is best flattered by pure, deep colors, or lighter, but still pure hues. Colors that are too dirty and muted are too faded for this group. 
Ivory is the best shade of white, and you will probably struggle with pure white. Even though black looks good on you, a deep chocolate brown would be better, especially without makeup. 
Being the deepest and darkest of all the warm groups, DEEP WARM features are brought to life by pure, rich, deep and golden hues, that echo their own natural depth and contrast level. This means that you can look great in an all golden brown outfit only matched with gold accessories, or a bright red dress matched with a deep green coat. A look that would would diminish or overwhelm most other types. Instead very pale, dusty and cool colors make you look blend and unbalanced. For the highest contrast DEEP WARM's, it could be smart to use pure, dark or deep colors together with lighter colors to create that contrast and depth, and to balance your own dark features.
Dark to medium shades of hair color, is really the only look for a DEEP WARM, ashy shades, and platinum blond are not hair colors for this dark and warm shading. Most DEEP WARM's look faded and fake with completely blond hair, as it drains color from the face. Whilst, black brown, dark brown, red or golden brown hair makes the features appear more defined and fresher.

WORST COLORS ARE icy pastels and dusty tones, such as dusty, cool tones and soft, cool pastels. These colors does absolutely nothing for you. Remember that your biggest "no" colors are the ones that will clash with either your eye, skin or hair color, no matter if everything else tells you it should be great. A DEEP WARM needs pure, deep and golden colors, as well as a rich look. 

Now that you know which "season" you belong to, and what type of colors that suits your warm intensity, you might feel that you sometimes also fit into some colors that aren't that intense or all warm. This might mean you have a "soft" or "neutral" tendency, and that you look better in, or can get away with more colors that are either softer or colder. But never go too soft and muted, or all cold and icy. You can still run the risk of looking faded and dull, because you are above all DEEP, and need pure hues. These colors are based on your natural coloring, and might vary a little from one DEEP WARM to another, but that's what the "add on" is for. 


For example, you can be a 
DEEP WARM true, or should I say simply deep and warm (Julia Roberts). This is a classic DEEP WARM, and Julia Roberts is a perfect example of how a DEEP WARM can have a naturally lighter look (with deep eyes), but still look their best in pure, rich and deep colors. If you are a DEEP WARM true, the rules above should apply to you more or less perfectly.

DEEP WARM dark, (Solange) has the darkest and deepest overall coloring of all the DEEP WARM's, and (usually) especially dark eyes and hair. Therefore, they need a little more drama to achieve the flattering bold look, and the most vibrant and pure colors would be the best on this sub-group. Because of the tanned or dark look of the skin, the pure colors will give you a freshness equal to the CLEAR WARM look, and you might have thought that CLEAR WARM was your group, but in fact you just make the colors look brighter. The sub-groups are not so much about what you can't do, but more about what you can do; like getting away with bold colors and prints all mixed together. 

DEEP WARM soft, (Kristin Kreuk) looks her best in DEEP WARM colors, but needs a little splash of grey in them. This sub-group usually has soft hazel eyes, fair skin, and a medium to dark hair color. If they wish to color their hair, they should stick to deeper hair colors, not lighter, because of their already uncharacteristic soft look. They don't have as much intensity as the rest of the DEEP WARM's, so their glow is a little different, and easily confused with the DEEP COOL soft (if they flow into cool, thats where they should borrow colors from).  Bronze will probably be better for you than gold, since it's a little deeper, but both gold and silver works to. A DEEP WARM soft is still very much a DEEP, and typically soft and muted colors wont look as good. They just have a slightly softer intensity, and so without makeup and dyed hair, they look their best in DEEP WARM colors that are ever so slightly muted.

DEEP WARM neutral, (Olivia Munn) is a classic example of how a DEEP WARM with a tan, can flow into DEEP COOL, and suit the cool colors almost "equally". Even though her skin has a warm undertone, many of the cooler hues can look good too. The only reason she is in fact more warm than cool, is because she looks really great in DEEP WARM colors, the coolest and iciest hues can make her skin look a little red, and is overwhelmed by "goth" makeup. Also, silver and pure white seems harsher on her than gold and ivory, and it is especially obvious with little or no makeup on. A true DEEP COOL can look good in silver, goth and icy colors, as well as pure white, even when pale. However, the neutral does share the dislike for lighter hair. 
DEEP COOL, also has their version of a neutral, embodied by Kim Kardashian, and both her and Olivia Munn will look good in many of the same colors. The difference is that Olivia Munn has the typical warm feature of being sensitive to pure white, and silver, whereas Kim K looks great in those colors too. 
If you have difficulty deciding whether you are warm or cold, and lighter hair is not your thing; you're probably a neutral.

DEEP WARM VARIATIONS

Picture
Picture
Picture
DEEP WARM soft
(Kristin kreuk)
Kristen Kreuk is a little softer than a typical DEEP, because of her soft hazel eyes and lighter natural hair. The deeper hair-color suits her season even better, but she still has soft hazel eyes.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
For the DEEP WARM softs who are flowing into DEEP COOL, it is best to stick to the DEEP COOL soft hues.
Especially since pure white is still not the best look for any DEEP WARM, you can get away with it, but it looks a little harsh. 
Picture
Picture

As you can see, the warmer colors looks allover safer for Olivia Munn. Even though she just happen to have a tan on many of the "warm hues" photos, she still looks good in the same colors when pale. But for a neutral this is still the way to do it. Match your warmth to your current skin tone since both DEEP WARM and DEEP COOL colors can look (mostly) just as good. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
DEEP WARM neutral
(Olivia Munn)
Flowing into DEEP COOL.
Olivia Munn, actually suit DEEP COOL colors kind of equally as good as DEEP WARM colors, depending on her tan. The only thing certain is that she's definitely a DEEP, and that in general the warm tones gives her a little more more of a natural glow. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
The pure white seems a little harsh on her (especially without makeup), and she looks much more natural, calm and fresh in the warm, creamy white. Some of the coolest hues makes her skin look a little red or irritated (especially when she's wearing natural makeup).

Julia Roberts real hair color, looks closer to this. But she is still deep.

A DEEP WARM looks better with lighter hair than a DEEP COOL, but deep hair is still better. Blondette can look good, and too blond will diminish your look.

The DEEP WARM dark can handle intense colors and combinations, and make it look fresh and effortless.
Mindy Kaling is a DEEP WARM dark, who is flowing into DEEP COOL dark.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Lighter or darker DEEP WARM colors wont be as amazing, but it will give a more classy and collected look for the less flashy occasions. It still looks good, because they are after all DEEP WARM colors. Both look good, just a different expression .
Picture
Picture
Picture
Just stay away from too dirty and muted colors (e.g. this dirty shade of pink). They do nothing for the DEEP WARM, and especially not for the radiant and rich, DEEP WARM dark. 

Too the left, there is a DEEP WARM vs. DEEP COOL cool colors for Gabrielle Union as well, to show you she's DEEP WARM neutral. To the left, you will find two rows of DEEP WARM colors, and a row of DEEP COOL colors on the right side closest to this. 

​
A DEEP WARM neutral will usually have two undertones to their skin tone, which is actually quite common for darker skin. It doesn't always mean that you're a neutral, but it is usually found in neutrals or groups that aren't strictly cold or warm toned.
As you can see in these photos, Gabrielle Union has both a red (golden, a neutral that usually means cold in darker skin.) and a yellow undertone (warm undertone. Yellow undertone is warm and olive is neutral), and can look good in both DEEP WARM and DEEP COOL colors. DEEP WARM colors are slightly better, and that's why I put her in this group.

BEST DEEP COOL neutral LOOKS

BEST DEEP COOL neutral LOOKS
These outfits have been put together to create a better understanding of how to mix and match colors, contrasts, and materials to get that right look for your appointed group.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Use warm red when "tan" and cold red when "pale", or just combine the two since you look good in both. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Icy yellow and pure lemon yellow are great colors for the DEEP COOL neutral.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
An edgy look will seem harsh on most, but on the DEEP COOL, edgy looks cool and chill. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Royal blue, Chinese blue, icy blue and aqua are all good colors on the DEEP COOL neutral.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Neon yellow or chartreuse (greenish yellow) is a color most types can't handle. Combined black and white pattern, and deep purple, even less, but on the DEEP COOL neutral these shades look cool and fun.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Greige coat with deep red is always a safe look for the DEEP COOL neutral.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Army green or khaki green looks good on dark and cool groups. Even some pure and bright olive green colors can be very flattering for the slightly warmer DEEP COOL neutral. Chocolate brown is the safest type of brown for a DEEP COOL.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Christmas red or other shades of warm red can look awesome on a DEEP COOL neutral. Just match the type of red with the skin tone as it changes with the seasons. Use cool red when your skin is pale or cooler and warm red when you have a good golden tan.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
An all black, edgy outfit looks very sharp, clean, and classy on a DEEP COOL neutral, and not too much.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Icy pink is a great color on the DEEP COOL neutral. Keep in mind that, icy colors has pure white in them, they're not powdery, dirty or faded.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Icy pink towards peachy, also works well. Just make sure the color has white in it; Anything dirty or faded, will diminish your sharp look.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Even though topaz and chocolate brown is the best shade of brown for the DEEP COOL, a warm pure brown will still work for the neutral coloring of this group.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
 Greige is a good basic color for the DEEP COOL neutral. 

Picture
Picture

Icy bright pink looks good on the DEEP COOL. Just stay away from the warm pink in this intensity, because it will make you look boring. The DEEP COOL neutral, is after all deep, rich, pure, dark and on the cooler side.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Icy mint green, emerald green and deep green are all great colors for the neutral. The too cool or too warm shades are not neutral enough for this group, especially regarding green.

Picture
Picture
Picture
A DEEP COOL, can wear dark red, dark blue and black without looking goth.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
An all white outfit, looks very sharp, clean, and classy on a DEEP COOL neutral. Ivory can work as well. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Icy aqua-blue and deep, dark blue is still a good color even thought the neutral is not as cool as the rest of the DEEP COOL's.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
As the natural goth that is the DEEP COOL, a Wednesday Addams look is super cute and classy.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Dark and deep green, and emerald green are good types of green for a neutral, even though they can get away with warmer shades of green as well. For the neutral, the best hues will be right smack in the middle between warm and cold shades of deep and pure green. You're just not icy enough for the coolest tones, and not warm enough for the warmest.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Pure, strong and bright orange, as well as coral are awesome hues for the neutral DEEP COOL. Color blocking is a good look for this group

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Both gold and silver is equally as good on the DEEP COOL neutral. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
An all grey or all black outfit can be a really cool "sporty" look for a DEEP COOL neutral. You can also spice it up with some brighter colors.

Picture
Black and white together of any kind will look classy, sharp and extremely flattering on the DEEP COOL neutral. Because this group is above all deep, dark and high in contrast, just as the black and white look. Add red and it will look even fresher.

Picture
Both fuchsia and hot pink are great colors on a DEEP COOL neutral.

BEST DEEP COOL soft LOOKS
These outfits have been put together to create a better understanding of how to mix and match colors, contrasts, and materials to get that right look for your appointed group.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Cool, icy and dark colors, but the icy blue has a dash of grey in it, the pants are charcoal, and the coat has a soft material and cut, to emphasize the soft yet hard contrasts. Nb! If the icy-grey-blue is too much like powder blue it wont be a DEEP COOL shade. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Royal Blue and silver, icy glow

Picture
Picture
Picture
Emerald green, with pine green, and chartreuse green-yellow, combined with black and white; gives a "subtle" and pure contrast look. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Balanced contrasts. Icy, pure and deep colors mixed together will give a soft yet sharp contrast. Just as the DEEP COOL soft has a sharp look, but with some softness to it. Patterns and prints are an excellent way too wear colors that are borderline too much for the softer DEEP COOL. (A perfect solution for those sensitive to white).

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The cool, dark and sharp school girl look, is edgy in a perfect way. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Cherry red, and black and white. A look that no one can pull of as well as the DEEP COOL. Even throwing sequins into the mix wont over power the sharpness of (even) the DEEP COOL soft.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
As all cool groups, blue will be one of your absolute best colors. And for the DEEP COOL, deep and pure shades of royal blue, true red, green, black, white and grey, are you absolute best colors. If in doubt, go for one of these. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Deep, dark colors with a black and white detail to contrast. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Black with red, and print. 
Your best color inspo is to channel the colors that remind you of a Goth Secretary, or Futuristic Fairytale.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
An all black outfit is high in contrast, but less busy for the soft.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Since the DEEP COOL soft has an intensity especially similar to the DEEP WARM, they too can sometimes struggle with pure white. A slightly dirty white or a light grey would be more flattering. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
As the natural goth that is the DEEP COOL, a Wednesday Addams look matched with deep red, is perfection.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Fuchsia is a great color on any DEEP COOL, matching it with another great "color" like charcoal; will give it a slightly calmer look.  

Picture
Picture
Silver and bronze are better for you than gold, since they are a little calmer. A DEEP COOL soft has an intensity as a DEEP WARM and the coolness of a CLEAR COOL. So they look best in DEEP COOL colors that are slightly softer. 

Picture
Even some pure and bright olive green colors are very flattering for the soft, deep and cool. Especially if you have hazel eyes to match. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Icy pure colors matched with black, white, and grey. Balanced contrast.

Picture
Picture
Grayish whites give a much softer look next to the deep, dark blue and black. Mixed together it's a soft, deep and dark contrast look.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Flame orange is a great DEEP COOL color, but for the soft, it is best to mute the look by throwing a little grey and some black into the mix. Patterns, or mixing three "colors" is a good way to soften the overall look.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Butter yellow is the best yellow for a soft. Pine green and chocolate brown together give an almost warm look to the cool DEEP COOL soft.  

Picture
Picture
Picture
Black and white patterns are an amazing look for all DEEP COOL's, and as I have mentioned before; a perfect solution to those sensitive to white. Black is such great shade on  the DEEP COOL soft, that it carries the white, and it all ends up looking fantastic.

Picture
Picture
Picture
An all "one color" look will usually be quite flattering on the DEEP COOL soft. Secondary colors such as grape purple, is also one of the better shades.

BEST DEEP COOL dark looks

BEST DEEP COOL dark LOOKS
These outfits have been put together to create a better understanding of how to mix and match colors, contrasts, and materials to get that right look for your appointed group.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
DEEP COOL dark has an overall dark coloring, and needs even stronger or darker colors to get that high contrast look.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
A DEEP COOL dark can handle bold prints and colors. Just make sure to combine that info; with what suits your body type and height/size.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Every DEEP COOL needs contrast, and the DEEP COOL dark can handle more than anyone. Icy blue, royal blue and pure white is a good way of using colors to create contrast. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
A print this large and bright, on such a dark surface would be too much for most other types, but for the DEEP COOL dark, this will appear balanced and fresh. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Coral and strong shades of hot pink, are fresh colors on a DEEP COOL dark.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Black, glittery pure and cool colors, paired with ruby red heels, gives a festive and cool look. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Deep purple, indigo, and icy grey  are also good colors for the DEEP COOL dark. 

Basically, the DEEP COOL dark can get away with color combinations, hues and looks that would look artificial or unflattering on most others. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Black and white patterns, or combining pure and deep colors; is the right way to make your naturally dark coloring pop.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
An all black look is best when worn with some elements of brighter og lighter color to give the DEEP COOL dark the contrast it needs. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Icy pink, hot pink, fuchsia and grape purple are great colors on a DEEP COOL dark. Combine them for that extra bright look.  

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Chocolate brown is great on the DEEP COOL dark.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Deep red creates a great sophisticated look for the DEEP COOL dark. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Gold works pretty well for a DEEP COOL dark, but silver will still give an even more flattering and strong glow.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Emerald green and bright olive, both suit the slightly neutral (sometimes flowing into DEEP WARM dark), but above all deep and dark, DEEP COOL dark. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Because of the DEEP COOL darks overall dark coloring, dark and deep colors such as these will look proportioned and calm. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
A DEEP COOL dark's, most flattering look is high in contrasts with intense colors. Tiny, bleak prints or anything dirty or faded, does absolutely nothing for you. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Because of DEEP COOL dark's rich skin tone, most pure or icy shades of yellow will look flattering.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
An all white outfit, or white with black looks very sharp, clean, and classy on a DEEP COOL dark.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
A nautical inspired style, makes a DEEP COOL dark; look chic, instead of posh. Deep plum, deep blue and black and white together looks very sharp, but still calm. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Royal blue, deep blue, bright navy and emerald colors are the right kind of rich and deep colors that suits a DEEP COOL dark. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Red is simply great on the DEEP COOL dark, and everything from true red, ruby, cherry, deep rose, to burgundy is very flattering. Since a DEEP COOL dark usually has a dark skin tone that is borderline warm, they can FLOW INTO DEEP WARM, and wear some warm colors, as long as the warm colors has the right intensity, such as similar to icy, or deep, dark and pure.
