About Katy Perry's colors
Why Katy is a Cool Winter.
Perry's dyed blue-black hair against her cool fair skin is textbook Cool Winter, cool, clear, and high-contrast. She can wear saturated, icy-bright color that would overwhelm softer seasons: true red, cobalt, emerald, fuchsia all sharpen her face.
She gets read as a Deep Winter when her hair is darkest, but her skin stays cool-fair rather than warm-neutral, so clean cool brights flatter her more than the deepest tones. Soft Cool Summer pastels, by contrast, wash out her high contrast.

The read · Undertone
Cool-fair skin with no warmth, clear blue eyes, and cool blue-black hair. The contrast between hair and skin is striking. Silver and clear, cool jewels light her up; gold and earthy warmth pull a grey cast.
