Audrey Hepburn is a Deep Winter. Her cool ivory skin, near-black brown hair, and deep brown doe eyes sit in the darkest, coolest corner of the 12-season system, so jet black, cherry red, sapphire, and magenta frame her, while warm earthy shades like warm beige, pumpkin, tan, and honey gold wash her out.

About Audrey Hepburn's colors
Why Audrey is a Deep Winter.
Audrey carries the Deep Winter signature: cool, very dark, very high contrast. Her near-black hair and almost-black eyes bring a depth that asks for saturated darks, jet black, deep navy, burgundy, pine, struck against pure white or a clear jewel brights. It's why the little black dress became hers: black repeats her own darkness and lets the ivory skin and doe eyes do the talking. Soft, warm, or muted colour has nothing in her face to mirror.
Her cool skin gets her filed as a Cool Winter, but depth leads her coloring, not iciness, her eyes and hair are the near-black end of Winter, and she wears the darkest, richest shades better than the icy pastel end where a true Cool Winter peaks. And she's no Summer: powdery, greyed shades would blur the crisp line between her ivory skin and ink hair, where Winter darks make that line the whole point.

Where Audrey sits.
Audrey Hepburn's bubble sits in the Winter quadrant, the family of colors that wear her best. The closer a color sits to her, the better it reads on her face.
What this means.

Deep Winter sits opposite. Those shades drain Audrey's face.
The read · Undertone
Cool ivory skin with no golden cast, deep brown doe eyes so dark they read almost black, and near-black brown hair. The gap between her fair skin and inky hair is about the widest contrast the system allows. Black, pure white, and deep jewel tones sharpen her features; gold, tan, and warm earth pull her sallow and tired.
Wear it well

Audrey's color questions.
What color season is Audrey Hepburn?+
Audrey Hepburn is a Deep Winter, dark, cool, and very high-contrast. Her cool ivory skin, near-black brown hair, and deep brown doe eyes match a palette of jet black, cherry red, sapphire, magenta, and pure white.
What are Audrey Hepburn's best colors to wear?+
Dark and jewel-saturated: jet black, deep navy, burgundy, royal plum, wine berry, pine, cherry red, sapphire, and magenta, with pure white and cool pearl as neutrals. Black repeats her own depth, the little black dress in Breakfast at Tiffany's is Deep Winter theory on film.
Is Audrey Hepburn a Deep Winter or a Cool Winter?+
Deep Winter. Both are cool and high-contrast, but her near-black hair and almost-black eyes make depth her dominant, she carries the darkest Winter shades better than the icy-bright end where a Cool Winter peaks. Either way she's a Winter: cool, dark, and crisp.
What colors should Audrey Hepburn avoid?+
Warm beige, pumpkin, tan, and honey gold, warm earthy shades that mute her contrast and pull her ivory skin sallow. She wears jet black or deep navy in place of tan and cool pearl in place of beige.
What lipstick suits Audrey Hepburn's coloring?+
Cherry red, deep wine, cool berry, and magenta, dark, cool, saturated shades that hold their own against her contrast. Skip coral, peach, and warm nudes; they grey her out.
