Soft Summer

Grey eyes against red auburn hair are a rare, gorgeous contrast, cool eyes over a warm-looking head of hair. Smoked rosewood echoes the auburn without any heat, and pewter plum keeps your grey eyes from being the quiet half of the pairing.

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.
