Chocolate brown on bright, high-contrast skin tones (Bright Winter)

The answer

Close, but not a match. Chocolate brown sits just outside the Bright Winter palette. The nearest thing in the palette is #2A2A30, ΔE 17.8 away, which is one of the four neutrals the season is built on. Under 12 reads as the same colour family; past 25 the two are visibly different colours.

It does not collide with anything on the season's avoid list, so the only question is distance.

How chocolate brown scores across all twelve seasons

Chocolate brown is an opinionated colour: Deep Autumn scores it 91 and Light Summer scores it 0. A gap that wide means the colour genuinely decides something, and getting it right is worth the effort.

Bright Winter sits 7 of twelve at 56, 36 points behind Deep Autumn. That gap is the honest size of the compromise, not a verdict on the colour.

• Deep Autumn: 91 (ΔE 3.5).
• True Autumn: 79 (ΔE 8.6).
• Soft Autumn: 67 (ΔE 13.4).
• Bright Winter: 56 (ΔE 17.8) <- this season.
• Light Summer: 0 (ΔE 39.6).
