Light Summer

Light Summer is the lightest of the cool types. Your coloring is soft and low in contrast with a cool-to-neutral undertone. Pastel pink, lavender and light rose look natural, while dark or strongly warm colors look heavy.

  • Light ash or light brown hair
  • Soft gray, blue or light brown eyes
  • Skin that flushes pink easily

Common traits, not rules. Plenty of Light Summers have none of them.
