Are you a Deep Winter?
Swatch Fan reads two things, your undertone and your depth, so it places you in one of six families rather than all twelve. For Deep Winter that family is Winter — the same colors, one step wider. The twelve-season split adds a third axis, clarity, which the quiz does not measure.
