Cool Summer color palette: best colors & hair shades

Cool Summer people are characterized by: Light to medium skin with distinctly cool undertone (pink or bluish). Grey, blue or soft brown eyes with greyish tone. Natural ash brown hair. Medium contrast, sophisticated, cool appearance. The most reliable way to confirm is with a color analysis quiz that evaluates undertone, contrast and intensity.

The recommended colors are: Ash blonde (Level 7/1), Dark ash blonde (Level 6/1), Dark ash violet blonde (Level 6/12), Light ash brown (Level 5/1), Light iridescent brown (Level 5/2). These reflects harmonize with the natural skin undertone.

It is best to avoid: Intense golden (Saturated golds create a yellowish effect on cool skin). Fire red (Too warm and vibrant for this cool palette).

They are based on the same harmony principles, but hair affects facial contrast more directly. Clothing colors are broader; hair colors translate to specific professional level and reflect that a colorist can apply.
