Light Summer

Light brown hair gives green eyes a soft frame, and cool mushroom is the neutral that repeats it honestly. Pale jade runs with the green, soft plum runs against it, and both of them beat any warm olive you might be tempted by.

Cool, light and airy - powdery blues, lilacs and petal pinks.

Light summer is cool and light, which reads on the page as powdery and reads in a mirror as clean. The trap is contrast rather than color: put one dark piece into this palette and it takes over the whole outfit. Keeping the values close together is most of the skill here.
