Depth: Deep
At least one of your natural features has meaningful depth, such as very dark hair, eyes, or skin. Your best colors often have enough richness to stand beside that depth.

What it means to be Clear Cool Deep
Your best colors have a cool undertone, clear chroma, and enough depth to complement your natural contrast.
Think of saturated blues, cool reds, rich violets, and crisp cool neutrals. These colors can make your features look more defined and your complexion appear more balanced.
Muted or dusty colors may seem to soften your appearance too much, while warm golden shades can compete with your cooler coloring. The goal isn't simply to wear the brightest color in the room; it's to find the right balance of clarity, temperature, and depth.
The Your Color Style Method
Three characteristics define your type
Your Color Style looks at depth, undertone, and chroma rather than assigning a seasonal label.
02
Undertone: Cool
Cool, blue-based colors tend to harmonize with your coloring more readily than golden, yellow-based alternatives.
03
Chroma: Clear
Colors with clarity and saturation tend to be more flattering than noticeably grayed, dusty, or muted shades. Clear does not mean every color must be neon-bright.

Questions about this type
Clear Cool Deep FAQs
Does Clear Cool Deep mean I must have dark hair?
No. Depth can come from your hair, eyes, or skin. The examples above illustrate how people with different hair colors can share a Clear Cool Deep color type.
Is Clear Cool Deep the same as a winter season?
No. Your Color Style describes color harmony through depth, undertone, and chroma rather than seasonal categories. Some color recommendations may overlap, but the method is different.
Does clear mean I can only wear very bright colors?
No. Clear refers to chroma: how saturated or muted a color is. The Clear Cool Deep palette includes a range of cool colors with the clarity and depth that support this type.
What if I'm between Clear Cool Deep and Soft Cool Deep?
Compare clear and softened versions of similar cool colors against your face. If you still aren't sure, DIY Color Analysis can guide you through the decision.
What if my hair is turning gray?
Hair changes can affect your overall depth and contrast, but gray hair does not automatically determine your type. YCS offers separate gray-hair palettes for specific warm color types. Use your current coloring and color comparisons to choose the best match.
