Cool Summer, also called True Summer, is the coolest summer season: blue-pink undertone, light-to-medium value and soft-to-medium chroma. Typical coloring includes skin with a pink, rosy or cool olive cast across light to deep tones, hair in ash blonde, ash brown or cool dark brown, and eyes in gray, blue, cool green or soft cool brown.

Yes. True Summer and Cool Summer are two names for the same season, the coolest of the three summers.
