“Katy is the very picture of Bright Winter – energetic, clear and high-contrast” — Stina Lönnkvist, Colour analyst
Why Katy Perry is a Bright Winter
Bright Winter colours have clarity, coolness and high contrast. Katy Perry suits, among others, cobalt blue, clear cherry red, cool neon pink, clear emerald and stark white. Pure, saturated colours and crisp contrasts bring out her features. Warm or muted tones such as olive, terracotta and mustard can make the whole look murky, as can too little contrast; choose a clear, cool shade. Black and white are her natural base colours.
Right & wrong colours
for Katy
Flattering
The satin dress in a clear cherry red makes her skin look clear and her eyes bright, and the pure, cool colour matches the season's clarity.
Why it works
- Cool
- Bright
- Deep
Less flattering
The muted olive dress and the light hair make the whole look murky and take the edge off the contrast in her face. Cobalt blue, cherry red or stark white would have been more flattering.
Why it doesn’t
- Warm
- Muted
- Light
