These are the colors that make you glow. Use them as your guide for makeup, clothing, and accessories.

Soft Summer is the most muted sub-season in the Summer family. It describes cool-toned coloring with medium depth and low chroma. Soft Summers have a hazy, understated quality and look best in dusty, greyed-out, cool tones.
Soft Summers glow in dusty, greyed-out shades: sage, muted lavender, soft cocoa, muted rose, cool taupe, soft teal, and dove grey. The key is muted + cool — nothing vivid or bright.
Avoid anything vivid, neon, or high-contrast: bright orange, electric blue, neon pink, stark black, vivid red, and warm gold. These overpower your naturally soft, muted coloring.
Both are muted and soft, but Soft Summer is cool-toned while Soft Autumn is warm-toned. Soft Summer looks best in dusty lavender and cool taupe. Soft Autumn looks best in muted gold and warm sage. They're the closest cross-season pair.
Bright, vivid colors will overwhelm a Soft Summer's delicate coloring. Stick to greyed-down, dusty versions of any color. If you love blue, choose a dusty blue-grey instead of electric blue.
