Hazel’s specialty was cooking and baking.
She and sister Mabel shared in running the household as well as raising a huge garden and helping their brothers with farm chores. These combinations will swallow up your delicate appearance and make you disappear behind them.Hazel lived her entire lifetime on the family farm. This might make other seasons look washed out, but on a Soft Summer, it is nothing but flattering.Īvoid pairing highly contrasting colours, especially those that sit opposite each other on the colour wheel, such as blue and orange. Generally, pastel and greyed out colours combined in a monochromatic combination will look best on Soft Summers. Another option is to mix a neutral with an accent colour of similar value, such as a light beige with a similarly light yellow. For example, you could pair a lavender purple with a lighter blue. While hue contrast is not something Soft Summers generally wear well, you can combine neighbouring hues as long as they have the same value. You can pair slightly different shades of the same hue, such as a lighter green with a darker one. The best way to achieve this is through monochromatic colour combinations. Therefore, your best colour combinations are those that complement each other. This season does not tolerate a lot of contrast. Soft Summer’s natural appearance blends rather than contrasts. Those are the combinations that repeat the level of contrast that is naturally present in your appearance. But certain combinations will look much better than others. Technically, you can combine any of the colours on the Soft Summer palette with each other. Whereas if you lean more towards Soft Autumn, choose the cooler colours on the Soft Autumn palette – such as English Manor, Oceanwave or Dusk Blue. If you lean more towards True Summer, opt for the more muted colours on the True Summer palette – such as Moonlite Mauve, Baby Lavender or Lichen Blue. Depending on where you fall on the Soft Summer spectrum, you can borrow some colours from your sister palettes since they are close enough to the Soft Summer colour palette.
And the colours are more muted, warmer and ever so slightly darker than those of True Summer.Ĭompared to Soft Autumn, the colours are cooler and more greyish, but otherwise similar – both seasons are medium in value and muted.Ĭompared to the third Summer season Light Summer, the colours share the same neutral cool temperature but are more muted and darker.Īs sister palettes, True Summer and Soft Autumn both share Soft Summer’s aspects of cool and muted, respectively. It falls at the Autumn end of the Summer palette. Soft Summer sits between True Summer and Soft Autumn on the seasonal flow chart. Consequently, the colours have low chroma – meaning they are very desaturated, muted or simply greyed-out. In line with this season’s primary colour aspect, Soft Summer has the least tolerance for brightness. And while there are lighter and darker colours, most of the colours fall somewhere in the middle of the value scale. The colour palette is medium in value, meaning neither light nor dark colours dominate it. Instead, there are more blues, pinks and greys, which are naturally blue-based and thus cool. And you will only see cooler shades of yellow that have a tint of blue. As a result, you will find fewer shades of yellow (which is the warmest colour of all). That means they contain more blue than yellow undertones. Thanks to Soft Summer’s secondary aspect, the colours lean towards the cool end of the scale but are not extremely cool. Soft Autumn colours contain more walnut, beige, and gold pigments, and therefore the eyes cannot appear grey. Why is that?Īs mentioned before, Soft Summer has a high content of grey pigments, which tones down the colours of their natural appearance. If your eyes seem greyish (even if they are greenish or have brown blotches), then you are likely a Soft Summer if they remain green, hazel, or olive, then you lean more towards Soft Autumn. If you are unsure whether your appearance is warmer or cooler, there is an easy way to find out: In natural daylight and without makeup, hold something grey to your face. The latter’s colouring contains more gentle, muted tones with a high content of grey and olive, whereas Soft Autumn’s colouring has more walnut and honey pigments. Both colour seasons are very similar, and the distinctions are subtle.īoth seasons’ primary colour aspect is muted – but while Soft Autumn is warm, Soft Summer is cool. Containing the most muted and toned-down of the Summer family’s colours, individuals who fall into the Soft Summer category may very easily be mistaken for Soft Autumns.
