Light Summer Color Palette
Misty, cool, luminous
Light Summer is cool, light, and soft — like sea mist at dawn. Your best colors are airy cool pastels: powder blue, soft rose, lavender, and dusty mauve. You glow in silver and white gold, while warm golds and anything heavy or stark overwhelms your gentle coloring.

Frequently asked questions
What colors should a Light Summer avoid?
Warm, dark, and intense colors are a Light Summer's weak point — orange, mustard, black, and bright warm reds clash with your cool, delicate coloring. Trade black for soft grey and warm tones for their cool, light cousins.
What is the difference between Light Summer and Light Spring?
Both are light and low-contrast; undertone is the divide. Light Summer is cool (rosy, blue-based) and glows in silver; Light Spring is warm (peachy, golden) and glows in gold. Hold silver and gold to your face — whichever brightens you points to your season.
Can a Light Summer wear white?
Soft white and cool off-whites are lovely on a Light Summer, but stark optic white can be slightly harsh. Choose a gentle, cool-leaning white, and lean on soft greys and powder tones as your everyday neutrals.
