Best neutrals:
- Navy.
- All cool grays
- Cocoa, rose brown, and rose beige.
- Soft pinks in the rose family.
- Blues with red inside: plum, purple, periwinkle, lavander.
- Green blues like soft teal, spruce, green turquoise, and aqua.
Try mixing strong colours with pastels instead of with other strong shades, that gives the most interesting options for Cool Summers.

ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say a huge thank you for this. I've had a terrible time finding the right colours having been told I was a clear spring. My colouring is very much like the Duchess' and this actually makes it make sense! Thank you; I really appreciate your posts. They're enlightening!

Hi there, I actually can't decide if I'm a clear winter or a clear summer. Would you mind giving an opinion? I have dark brown hair, green/blue eyes with gold flecks, and I tan easily. Also, about Vivian Leigh and Elizabeth Taylor - I guess I would have thought they were the same? Anyway, thanks. Great blog :)
ReplyDeleteWell, Seanna, without seein any photo of you, and only from your description, you may be a Cool Summer, very much like Ms. Middleton. I'll think about the Leigh v. Taylor thing and get back to you, OK?
