Light Summer is defined by soft freshness, a feeling of lightness and a harmony dominated by cool, luminous and low-contrast colors.

Silver, white gold, satin finishes and delicate cool metals are usually more harmonious than very yellow or very shiny metals.
Fresh pinks, light mauves, rosy nude tones and lightweight textures often flatter the face more than dark reds or warm browns.
Ashy, cool beige or cool blonde reflections often work well. Be careful with golden or copper highlights, which can warm the harmony too much.
