Hair Color

Iconic Looks That Prove It

•Powder blue sits in Light Summer's sweet spot: cool, soft, and light. The shade complemented her blue eyes and fair cool skin without overwhelming her delicate contrast.

Common Misconceptions
There are frequent misunderstandings about color season classifications. Here are the facts.
Myth: Elle is a Light Spring because she is very fair and blonde.
Reality: The distinction is undertone. Elle's ashy-cool blonde and pink-cool skin have no golden warmth, which rules out Spring. Light Summer has the same lightness but with a cool base.
Myth: She should wear bright colors to add life to her pale complexion.
Reality: High-saturation colors overpower Light Summer's delicate coloring. Elle looks most alive in soft, muted shades that work with her lightness rather than competing against it.
