DYNAMIC
SUMMER & WINTER COLOUR PALETTE
Clear, cool and full of energy. Dynamic is the palette that never looks half asleep.
Quick answer: Dynamic is a bright, clear, cool palette of medium depth in the 18-palette Absolute Colour System. It suits people with cool colouring and bright, clear eyes. Navy and black both work, and silver is the best metal. As the medium-value cool palette, Dynamic sits in both Summer and Winter.
