Summer
Summer colouring: the three Summer palettes
This is your palette
Every Summer palette is cool. The three part on depth and clarity: Light Summer is light and soft, True Summer light and clear, Soft Summer mid-deep and soft.
Which of two?
Side by side
Light Summer
cool, light and muted
Cool, light and soft. Low contrast throughout – the palette works by staying close together, not by opposing itself.
- Soft Powder Blue
- Periwinkle
- Cool Lilac
- Rose Petal
- Soft LemonSummer does have a yellow. It is this one, and only this one.
- Sea Green Soft
True Summer
cool, light and clear
Cool, light and clear. Icy rather than dark: the clarity comes from the colours being clean, not from them being deep.
- Icy Aqua
- Clear Periwinkle
- Cool Orchid
- Raspberry Rose
- Icy LemonThe one yellow a cool light season can wear.
- Clear Mint
Soft Summer
cool, mid-toned and muted
Cool, mid-toned and muted. Everything is slightly greyed, and the palette holds together because nothing in it is louder than anything else.
- Dusty Blue
- Soft Periwinkle
- Muted Mauve
- Rosewood Pink
- Soft Olive GoldA cool season can wear olive, as long as it stays greyed.
- Sage Teal
How to find your palette
Colour analysis reads three things in your colouring: warm or cool, light or deep, clear or soft. The quiz asks about your eyes, hair and skin, looked at in a mirror by a window in daylight. It never photographs or scans your face, and the palette it finds is yours to keep.
