Winter Color Branding.

This color scheme suits those that are self-assured and confident.  People who opt for winter color branding are driven leaders who are confident and an expert in their field.

The winter color palette is one of sophisticated nature. It is “cool and dark” meaning most of the colors are cool colors, but in deeper tones, like burgundy or grey, icy blues and pale purples.

It doesn’t matter what colors you decide to use, as long as they tend to fall under these categories.

“The color of springtime is flowers; the color of winter is in our imagination.”

Inspiration for Winter Color Schemes.

You may feel as if your color options are limited with Winter – all icy blues and dark browns, but you would be surprised at the cool variety. Get it, cool? Here are a few examples.

Neutral.

The neutral color scheme plays with the earthy side of the winter color palette. There are lots of neutral colors that keep in tune with the dark aspects of the charcoal greys and dark browns.

Black & White.

Winter is the only color scheme that uses pure white and pure black. So these types of color schemes are perfect for minimalists. They also work well for businesses with an edgier or more industrial vibe.

While winter color schemes are characterized by darker colors, that doesn’t mean they need to be boring.  Think of Christmas and all of the beautiful deep reds and greens that make holiday decorating not only fun, but absolutely stunning.
