Seasonal Color Analysis

Summer

Cool, Soft & Muted

Summer is the season of cool elegance and soft sophistication. If you are a Summer, your coloring has a cool, muted quality — your skin has pink or blue undertones, your hair tends toward ashy tones, and your eyes are soft and cool. You shine brightest in colors that echo a misty morning: soft lavender, dusty rose, powdery blue, and sage green.
