Light Summer is the lightest of the three Summers. Your coloring is cool and delicate, with light hair, skin and eyes and gentle contrast. Soft pastels with a cool, rosy base flatter you. Dark, heavy and warm earthy colors overpower you.

Light Summer is the airiest of the Summers. Hair is usually ash blonde or light ash brown, eyes are soft blue, grey or green, and skin is fair with a pink or rosy cast. Everything is light and cool, with little contrast between hair, skin and eyes.

Pastels with a cool, rosy base belong here: powder blue, periwinkle, lavender, rose pink and soft teal, with soft white, grey and soft navy as neutrals. Silver, platinum and white gold sit well on the skin. Black, orange and earthy browns are too heavy and too warm, and they reach the eye before the face does.

The closest neighbour is Light Spring, just as light but warm. If peach and golden yellow make the skin look sallow while powder blue and rose make it glow, the coloring is Summer.
