Hair Color

Skin Description
Medium-light with an olive cast, cool-neutral muted undertone

Look 2

Common Misconceptions
There are frequent misunderstandings about color season classifications. Here are the facts.
Myth: Lorde is a Deep Autumn because of her dark curly hair and olive skin.
Reality: Olive skin exists across seasons. Lorde's cool-neutral muted undertone and best color responses confirm Soft Summer over warm-based Autumn.
Myth: She should wear black for her signature moody aesthetic.
Reality: True black is too stark for Soft Summer's muted coloring. Dark charcoal and soft black achieve the same mood while harmonizing with her natural palette.
