Seasonal color profile
Summer (cool · soft)
Cool undertone + muted value. Dusty cool shades flatter you — powder blue, lavender, rose. Saturated warm colors (orange, mustard) read sallow on you.
Your palette
Rule of thumb: cool and soft like a summer morning. Pick blue-grey over warm grey, rose pink over coral.
