Can Winters wear orange, and if not what is persimmon?

[MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff]

Just as the title says really.

In the charts I've seen online one of deep winters' best colours is persimmon but I can't make out what colour it actually is.

Is it orange or orangey red or brownish orange?

TIA

A friend and I would like to have our colours done. Can anyone recommend a stylist near Richmond or Kingston?

No sign of the orange star jumper yet. I have my red lipstick at the ready, coloured my hair at the weekend so no greys to drag my pallor down. Will report back when it arrives during the week!

Nope. I'm a true Winter and I can't wear orange.

I've been checking out what are termed 'persimmon lipsticks' online. Do any of the Winters reading wear Mac Lady Danger or Rimmel In Love with Ginger?

I love the orange star jumper (I'm an autumn). Where did you order it from?

[Runningpear]

I've googled that colour and it looks far too orange-y for me, sorry.
I tend to stick to plum / blue toned reds.

mirpuppet the jumper is from Mint Velvet.

Thank you for taking the time to google that Runningpear. I've attached an image of both lipsticks to see what any other Winters think.

Martin - that will look horrible on me. I'm a Winter.

I look better with blue-based than yellow-based colours, and would be a Winter using that terminology.

I figure that I would probably be ok with a dark orange with some blue/ purplish undertones going on.

However, if you add enough blue, the colour stops being recognisable as orange.

I might opt for vermilion here - but I would probably not see it as orange.

I don't have any orange, yellow or brown clothes.

I like this palette of burnt oranges though.

Mint velvet has some great knits at the moment. Pls report back Martin!

[MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff]

Well, it has arrived and I like it. After extensive internet research (googling instead of housework) it's like how I imagined persimmon to be.

For anyone considering it, the jumper is a neat enough wide necked crew.

I am going to break out of my usual mould and hang on to it. I think Mac Lady Danger would be pushing it though

I’m a deep winter and can wear orange, as others have said; it needs to be bright and if too yellow then add in other deep winter neutrals like navy or black. Deep winter has autumn as a secondary colour so can carry off some of the autumn colours but bright and pure is key. Rock that sweater I say!
