Summer Color Theory
Cool, Soft, and Muted
Summer colors are characterized by their coolness, softness, and muted quality. They reflect the gentle, hazy light of summer days.
Color Characteristics
Summer colors have cool blue undertones and are typically soft and slightly muted rather than bright or intense. The palette includes soft blues, lavenders, rose pinks, and sage greens - all with a slightly greyed quality that gives them sophistication.
Suitable For
Summer colors typically complement individuals with cool, soft coloring. This often includes people with ash blonde, light brown, or silver-grey hair, skin with pink or blue undertones, and soft blue, grey, or cool green eyes.
Styling Tips
When styling with summer colors, aim for gentle, elegant combinations. Layer colors of similar softness for a sophisticated look. Summer colors work beautifully in watercolor-like patterns and lightweight, flowing fabrics.
Contrast with Other Seasons
Unlike Spring colors which are warm and clear, Summer colors are cool and soft. They differ from Autumn colors by being cooler and less earthy, and from Winter colors by being softer and less intense.
