The month of September is dedicated to her: the Cool Summer color palette, which is full of soft, light and cold colors.
We know that, at first, you must have found it strange. What do you mean a summer that is cold and not hot?
What happens is that the Expanded Seasonal Method of Personal Coloring does not take into account the thermal effect of the season, but the effect that lighting has on nature.
That way, in summer, we have pinker and bluer days, which makes it a cold season.
As we like to point out, Cool Summer is also the nomenclature we use here at Studio Immagine.
However, you can know this card as Pure Summer, since it is a pure card, that is, that has temperature as its main characteristic.
It is one of the 12 color palettes that make up the Expanded Seasonal Personal Coloring Method.
If it’s Pure Summer or you know someone who belongs to this color palette, be sure to check out and share this article, a true Cool Summer Color Guide.

Understanding the characteristics of the color palette: the PIT
In order to know how to use the Cool Summer color palette with great mastery and safety, understanding its characteristics is fundamental.
This color palette has as its main characteristic the temperature, which is cold.
Depth is light and intensity is soft and may vary in order of importance depending on the client’s test.
This summer’s contrasts
By definition, contrast is the difference in tone between hair, skin and eyes that we have in our beauty. In this season, the most common thing is to find people of the following contrasts:
Clear low contrast
Medium down
Medium contrast
As you can see, in the same color palette, we can have beauties of different contrasts, hence the importance of evaluating the beauty and individuality of each one during the test.
How are the colors of Pure Summer?
The Pure Summer or Cool Summer has many colors with bluish pigment in its composition.
In addition, it is made up of soft tones, which are the most faded, and clear, that is, with a greater addition of white.
In general, it is a color palette of very fresh tones that also has many pastel tones.
Who is Cool Summer: the beauties of the season
As we have already said in this article, in the same color palette, we find different beauties! To prove it, we brought here photos of Studio Immagine students who are Cool Summer.
The photos were taken on the day they discovered the color palette, so not necessarily the clothes, makeup and hair colors are in the colors of the color palette, ok?
Which color palettes can the Cool Summer steal colors from?
Because it is a pure color palette, the cold temperature is a very important characteristic for those who are Cool Summer. Therefore, when using colors from other color palettes, the most recommended thing is to respect this requirement: temperature.
Therefore, the Cool Summer can steal some not so dark and intense colors from the Cool Winter and also manages to use colors from its neighboring cards, the Soft Summer and the Light Summer.
The hair tones of the color palette
In Pure Summer, we find hair with a grayish background, precisely because it is a colder season.
Usually, the hair is lighter, and can even reach a medium brown.
Hair is the frame of our face. For this reason, we always recommend that, like makeup, they are in the colors of your color palette, as they have a huge impact on our beauty.
Hit the Cool Summer Makeup Tone
The make-up of the Cool Summer color palette is more pink than orange.
Also, most people will look better with matte makeup than glow makeup, which is more luminous and shiny.
For the shadows, play with the colors in your color palette! Also take into account your image desire and your personal contrast.
You should mainly avoid warm temperature tones, ok?
