Light Summer is light in value, cool-leaning in undertone and soft in chroma, so airy, cool pastels suit it best. Typical coloring includes light to light-medium skin with a pink or neutral-cool cast, ash blonde to light ash brown hair (often lightened by the sun or later by gray), and blue, gray-blue, soft green or light hazel eyes, with low overall contrast. Use this as a self-guided starting point and check in daylight.

Light, cool pastels like powder blue and lavender make your skin look even, while black and warm earth tones look heavy. Silver usually flatters you more than yellow gold. If light and cool beat both bright and warm in a daylight test, Light Summer is worth exploring.
Both are light first. Light Summer leans cool and soft and prefers powder blue, lavender and soft white. Light Spring leans warm and clear and prefers peach, aqua and cream.
Black is usually too strong for this season and can make skin look gray. Soft navy, slate blue or dove gray give the same structure more gently.
Soft rose, cool pink-nude and light berry shades are reliable choices. Avoid orange-based corals and very dark plums.
