“Cool colours and clear contrasts bring Lucy's features sharply into focus” — Stina Lönnkvist, Colour analyst

Why Lucy Liu is a True Winter

True Winter is built on cool, clean colours and medium-to-high contrast. Lucy Liu's black hair and dark eyes create a graphic frame, and her skin's undertone harmonises with cool colours. Black, fuchsia, cobalt, and stark white keep her skin clear and her face in focus. Choose blue-based colours without haze, and combine light shades with truly dark ones for contrast. Avoid camel, mustard, warm beige, and bronze; they can cast a yellow tone over the skin, while dusty shades blur its definition.

Right & wrong colors for Lucy

Flattering

The black blazer and stark-white shirt repeat the contrast between hair and skin; silver and a berry-pink lip keep the whole look cool and clean.

Why it works

  • Cool
  • Bright
  • Deep
Lucy Liu – Less flattering

Photographer unknown

Less flattering

The warm camel tones in both the roll-neck and coat look muddy against her skin; the tonal effect is muted and indistinct.

Why it doesn’t

  • Warm
  • Muted
  • Light

Lucy Liu in their best colors

Cool fuchsia and berry-toned lip colours are very flattering choices

Silver is your best metal, while gold, copper, and bronze dull the overall effect

Choose large, bold patterns. Clean, separated colours keep the overall effect clear

True Winter vs
True Summer

It's easy to confuse True Winter and True Summer because both have cool tones. Both have a cool undertone, but True Winter has much more contrast and clarity, while True Summer is somewhat lighter and softer.
