Winter colour palette - what are you wearing?

I've done House of Colour last year, and I'm a very Bright Winter. I suit contrast, cool toned brights and my neutrals are navy, white, black and very very clear light grey. My usual wardrobe is casual - at present sweaters with jeans and a coat.

I have a navy coat which I like, and usually wear with bright jumpers, and white jeans when weather allows, but when it's raining and I can't wear white jeans I feel too dark in navy coat and dark jeans. Am wondering if I need a different coat, but what? Most of the shops sell dark olives, dark greys etc which are wrong for me. In the summer I can wear very light almost acid wash denim jacket, or ice colours which really suit me, but all darks look wrong, unless it's an all black outfit with red lips which I do from time to time.

I am trying to figure out the ideal colour combinations of coats, tops and jeans to wear in wet winter weather for bright winters like me who need contrast.

I did my colours recently too and I'm a Paintbox Spring. Bright colours too, and I like contrast. Black is my enemy though I share a lot of colours with Winter. We are both clear. Grey is one of my best but navy is very dark for me.
I would like the look of navy jeans, jacket, shoes - with a white shirt, and maybe a navy and white scarf.
I had my clothing personality done too. I'm a Natural Dramatic.
I loved the HoC experience.

Dark Winter here so personally very happy with dark jeans and coat. How about a bright pink, blue or red coat?

I'm jewel winter (also known as true winter?). My best colours include charcoal and indigo for jeans.

Apparently cherry red is one of the colours for 2024 so think that would suit winter

Especially the trousers and jumper in the picture

That M&S jumper is lovely.

I'm also a big fan of teal, but cobolt blue really pops as is brighter.

I'm a House of Colour winter - they appear to have added subdivisions since I was analysed. Can you wear cool, dark grey? I find it a godsend in the cooler months.
