Do Winter Colours Bring You Joy?

Winter colours tend to draw people in even if the colours themselves aren’t actually a fave. This often happens because many fashion designers design in these colours in the fall/winter, so you may wear the colours just so you can rock the latest styles.

Winter neutrals also tend to be readily available so you might wear them because they are easy to find year round.

I encourage you to be as detached as you can from the social cues you’ve received about some of these colours and really think about whether or not these colours bring you joy.

This is especially true for black. Black is one of the winter colours and doesn’t make an appearance in any other palette. But just because you enjoy wearing black doesn’t necessarily mean that the rest of the colours in the palette will bring you joy—although it could.

Take a peak at the winter colours and traits listed below to see if you feel connected to the Winter colour palette.
