Summer's colors are light, soft, and cool.

In all three Summer palettes, you will find many light, greyed tones of green, blue-green, blue, blue-purple, purple, and violet.

You will see few or no reds, oranges, yellows, or pure hues, and few dark colors.

Colors typical of Summer.



The energy of Summer's look is calm, graceful and restrained.


Summers can have hair, skin and eyes of any color. But in general...


  • Summers whose overall coloring is very fair or very light tend to be Light Summers.
 

  • Summers who have a higher level of contrast and whose skin noticeably lacks warmth tend to be True Summers

  • Summers whose overall look is particularly blended or "mousy", or who have deeper coloring, tend to be Soft Summers
