Winter Color Personality

Although winter may be associated with snow and ice, the winter color personality is anything but icy.  Winter personalities enjoy bold deep colors and like to combine them with cool colors like grey and pale blues. Think of how red cardinals look intense yet achieve a sense of harmony against the hues of winter.

Unlike other color personalities winter people do not shy away from using black in their interiors, nor do they consider black a challenge to combine with other colors in their interiors.
