What the Sunlit Soft Summer is all about
Temperature: Cool, primarily
Value: Medium to medium light
Chroma: Soft
Sister Season: Dusty Soft Spring
Best Colors: Predominantly cool, pastel shades grey-blue, mauve, plum, soft pink, denim blue, charcoal. She can borrow colors from her sister season like warm pinks, coral pinks, grey-green, etc.
Worst Colors: Bright warm colors like orange, golden yellow, and bright coral. Also, avoid very dark colors like black and cobalt blue.
Looking similar to a a Light Summer, the Sunlit Summer is slightly heavier and in need of more softness. Warmth in skin, eyes, or hair is often seen. This is why they are often mistaken for a Spring.
Monochromatic colors will be a great look, as well as many neutrals.
There will be a range of lighter to deeper soft colors you can wear, but keep most of the colors on the lighter side. Wearing colors that are too bright or too dark and heavy, particularly warm colors, will overwhelm you.
FYI: The Sunlit Soft Summer is sometimes categorized as s Soft Summer Light along with its 'twin' the Dusty Soft Summer.

This is part of my new artwork and visuals I have created with the help of AI, among other digital photo software. I will be slowly adding more images over time. Here are some for this season.
