Summer color analysis
Summer is the cool, soft quarter. Summer colouring has a pink or blue undertone, usually ashy hair, and gentle, low-contrast features — it suits blue-based colour that looks slightly blended rather than sharp or bright.
Light Summer is the most delicate, True Summer the most purely cool, and Soft Summer the most muted, bordering Autumn.
How to tell: You probably sit in Summer if silver suits you better than gold, pure white looks a little stark, and soft rose, periwinkle, and grey-blue flatter you while orange and warm gold look harsh.
