All Characteristics
Soft Summer
Cool & Muted Undertones
Soft Summers have neutral-cool undertones. Your skin may have a mix of pink and yellow tones, but overall reads as cool and ashy, not warm or golden.
Low Contrast
There is a low level of contrast between your hair, skin, and eyes. Your features blend harmoniously, creating a soft and gentle appearance.
Graceful & Elegant
Your best colors are sophisticated and refined. You should avoid harsh, bright, or overly warm colors, which can overwhelm your delicate coloring.
True Summer
Purely Cool Undertones
True Summers have distinctly cool, blue-based undertones. There is no warmth in your coloring, so you should avoid warm, golden colors.
Medium Contrast
There is a noticeable but not stark contrast between your hair, skin, and eyes. Your colors are neither too light nor too dark.
Graceful & Composed
You look best in colors that are calm and composed. Your palette is classic and elegant, avoiding the extremes of brightness or mutedness.
