Light Summer color palette guide.

Try powder blue, periwinkle, lavender, cool rose, soft pink, seafoam, and light raspberry.

Strong Light Summer colors often include Powder blue, Periwinkle, Lavender, Soft orchid, Cool rose, Soft pink, Cool raspberry, Cool mint. Use these near the face first: tops, scarves, glasses, makeup, and jewelry are the fastest tests.

Orange, mustard, rust, dark brown, black, and forest green usually feel too heavy or warm.

Common caution colors include Black, Orange, Mustard, Dark brown, Rust, Pumpkin. These shades are not banned, but they usually work better as shoes, bags, lower-half pieces, or small accents away from the face.

Soft white, pearl gray, dove gray, and light blue gray create a clean base.

A palette becomes easier to wear when the neutrals are right. Start with two or three reliable neutrals, then add accent colors that repeat across tops, makeup, and accessories.

Cool rose blush, soft raspberry lips, pearl highlight, and muted lavender accents work well.

Soft ash blonde, beige blonde, cool light brown, and gentle highlights tend to fit.

Use this as a direction, not a fixed rule. Hair color, makeup texture, and personal contrast all matter, so test changes in natural light before making a big commitment.
