One thing worth saying
- People often describe Soft Summers as fair individuals with ash-blonde hair and blue-grey eyes. In practice—especially when analysing clients from East Asian, South Asian, African, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, Latina and mixed-heritage backgrounds—you'll find many Soft Summers with naturally dark brown hair and brown eyes. The defining characteristics are low contrast, gentle coolness and softly muted colouring.
