Comprehensive breakdown of each palette

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 Winter

Purely Cool Undertones

True Winters have distinctly cool, blue-based undertones. There is absolutely no warmth in your coloring, and you need pure, clear colors to look your best.

High Contrast

There's dramatic contrast between your features. You can handle the most intense color combinations and look stunning in high-impact looks.

Vivid & Pure

You shine in colors that are clear and intensely saturated. Any hint of warmth or mutedness will dull your natural brilliance.
