Soft Summer

Brown eyes with dark brown hair keep everything in one deep register, so the work of your palette is to build contrast that stays soft. Cool espresso echoes your hair, and damson gives brown eyes something cool to push against.

Cool and muted - misty greys, soft plums and seafoam calm.

Soft summer is cool and muted at the same time, which is a harder brief than it sounds: cool colors turn cold quickly and muted ones turn dull. The palette solves it with greys that carry a hint of another color and plums that stay dusty. Almost everyone who lands here has been wearing colors that are a little too bright.
