Light Summer color palette
Cool, light, and airy — pastel skies and sea glass.
Who is a Light Summer?
Light Summers are cool and light with a soft, airy quality. Ash or light blonde hair, blue or grey-green eyes, and fair skin with pink or neutral undertones that goes pink in the sun rather than golden.
Signs you might be a Light Summer
- Silver and white gold look cleaner on you than yellow gold
- Camel and orange make your skin look ruddy or yellow
- Soft rose lipstick looks right; coral looks orange
- Your natural hair color has ash in it, never red

The full 60-color Light Summer palette
The palette walks each of the season's twelve hues from light to deep within the Light Summer range. Every Light Summer on Vienne gets this with their result, plus their own three most striking colors.
Colors a Light Summer should avoid
These come from your opposite season, Deep Autumn. They pull your face in the wrong direction on every axis: neutral-warm where you are cool, deep where you are light.
Neutrals
Metals
Silver, white gold, platinum. Soft rose gold is fine; yellow gold is not.
Makeup
Rose and soft berry lips, cool pink blush, lavender and dove-grey shadow.
Hair
Ash blonde, light cool brown, platinum. Avoid golden, copper, and warm caramel.
Not sure between seasons?
The other Summer seasons share your coolness but differ in depth or clarity: True Summer and Soft Summer. Your opposite is Deep Autumn. The fastest way to settle it is to see your own face on both.
