You are very welcome, Soft Summer, our palette for the month of August!
The Soft Summer is one of the 12 color palettes that are part of the Expanded Seasonal Personal Coloring Method. Its main characteristic is low intensity: it hah more opaque colors.
And, of the three summers, it is the most serious, since it has darker colors due to the influence of its neighboring color palette, the Soft Autumn.

The characteristics of the color palette:
In the Personal Coloring Analysis, we do the color test to discover the characteristics of the client’s skin in relation to three dimensions:
Depth: if it looks better in light or dark tones;
Intensity: if it looks more beautiful in vibrant or soft tones;
Temperature: whether her beauty is brightened more with warm or cool tones.
With that, we reproduce the result of the Chromatic Analysis in the colors of the client’s color palette.
As we said before, this color palette has a soft intensity as its main characteristic. Its temperature is cold and the depth can be light, medium-light or medium.
What are the contrasts of the Soft Summer?
In the same color palette, we have different beauties! Therefore, in the Soft Summer, we can find people with different contrasts, such as contrast:
Low light
Medium to low light
Medium
Soft Summer colors
The colors that we find in the Soft Summer color palette are colors that are already present in the client’s beauty, because, in Personal Coloring, we work with the principle of harmony.
Therefore, we will have many cold tones, which are more blue, pink and gray; smooth, which are those more mixed; and clear to intermediaries.
Who is Soft Summer?
Normally, we have the habit of associating people with very fair skin, very light eyes and light hair with the summer season.
However, when we talk about Soft Summer, mainly, this association tends to be very misleading!
In Soft Summer, we have many cases of medium brown hair beauties. At first, I see people say “oh, for sure, she is Winter” and no. She might as well be summer too.
Therefore, we talk about the importance of not jumping to conclusions and of calmly following the color test script. Only by passing on the fabrics can we discover a client’s color palette.
So that you can visualize that we can find different beauties in the same color palette, I have selected some photos of Studio Immagine students who are Soft Summer, on the day they discovered their color palette.
Soft Summer hair
In this color palette, we find hair with a colder and grayer background. They can be light to intermediate shades, such as a medium brown.
Make-up in the colors of the color palette!
In the Soft Summer, the soft intensity is a very important characteristic and one that must be taken into account when choosing the finish of the make-up.
Always prefer the matte finish, without shine. Also, foundations, powders, blushes and lipsticks will have a pink background, never orange or yellowish!
The only exception is olive skin, which can be found in this color palette. For this type of skin, you may need to mix foundations and concealers with a pinkish undertone with those with a yellowish undertone to get the perfect shade for you.
Which color palette can you steal colors from?
Of the three summers, the Soft Summer is the one with the darkest colors, precisely because its neighbor is the Soft Autumn.
Therefore, it manages to steal some colors from this color palette, since they have in common the characteristic of well-marked softness.
Soft summer color combinations
When you take the personal coloring test, you’ll find that matching colors is much easier. This happens because all the colors in the color palette match each other, as they have a balance of temperature, intensity and depth dimensions.
To inspire you, we’ve separated some combinations with the Soft Summer color palette, which you can start putting into practice right now.
Another super tool, in addition to the color palette itself, that helps a lot when dressing up and putting together colorful looks is the chromatic circle.
It comes with ready-to-bet combinations. Have you seen that we have an exclusive Circle with summer colors? Just choose a piece of clothing, analyze the tone of that piece and check the options for combinations that the circle offers you with that color.
