The Rise of the Rich Brunette: Why This Winter’s Colours Are Anything but Ordinary

Colours by Deborah and Clare

At Neil Moodie Studio, we’ve never believed in following outdated rules like “blonde for summer, dark for winter. However, your hair colour should feel curated, confident, and completely personal — not seasonal or predictable.

This winter, rich brunettes are having a true renaissance. The shades we’re creating in the studio are deep, glossy, dimensional, and effortlessly refined — a world away from the flat, heavy browns of the past. Whether you’re already brunette or curious about transitioning deeper, this season’s palette is all about richness, luminosity, and a feeling of quiet luxury

Today’s brunettes are crafted with purpose. At Neil Moodie Studio, we build depth through espresso ribbons, truffle lowlights, mocha melts, and soft chestnut contours — creating colour that moves with the light and enhances your features.

Darker pigments reflect light beautifully, giving the hair that coveted “expensive gloss” effect. Pair it with one of our bespoke glossing treatments and your colour becomes luminous, not simply dark.

Think cashmere, boucle, structured coats, and warm knits — this season’s brunette tones elevate every winter look with warmth, elegance, and polish.
