Light & Cool

YOUR LOOK IS LIGHT, BRIGHT, GENTLE AND COOL

A gentle and colourful palette. Use colour combinations that repeat the low to medium contrast level naturally present in your appearance. You need vibrancy, a bit of contrast, and playful colour combinations to come alive!  

With your secondary palette as Cool, clothes that have a cool undertone will enhance your colouring. Personal style will also always influence how you wear your clothes and the colour combinations you prefer.

Helpful Hints

Monochromatic

Neighbouring Hues

Neutral & Bright Accent

Work it ...
  • One way to achieve a delicate, yet brighter look is through monochromatic combinations.
    • You can combine slightly different tints of one colour, such as a light Sky Blue with a medium blue, Light Periwinkle which have little contrast between them.
  • You can combine neighbouring colours;
    • Peacock and Cornflower
    • or even colours that sit further apart on the colour wheel, Dusty Rose and Petrol
  • Pair a neutral with a brighter accent for a little contrast.
    • A darker neutral – Pewter with Violet
    • A lighter neutral – Cream with Blush Pink
  • The brighter and lighter shades are best near your face
  • You can wear two light colours together, but in general, aim to incorporate at least one brighter colour into your outfit.
  • If you wear a medium to darker shade, contrast it with a lighter shade rather than a deep one.
  • If you wear just one colour, ensure its light to medium in depth.
  • Black is not in your palette, if essential, wear sparingly, preferably below the waist in a sheer, light fabric.
  • Your black alternative is Light Navy | Rose Brown | Pewter | Medium Grey
  • Great patterns for you include small and dense, gentle prints.  Rounded shaped geometric patterns with natural elements will also work well.

Don't do it ...
  • Two dark colours are overpowering
  • Avoid darker colours head to toe, or near your face as they drain you
  • Avoid neutrals-only combinations as these will look dull on you
  • Colours with a warm undertone
  • Overly bright, neon colours
  • Pure White, Black, Dark Navy and Dark Browns
  • Patterns | avoid stiff, geometric, ordered arrangements or big elements

Accessories

Jewellery is best kept light to match your delicate colouring rather than deep and rich. Metals can be shiny, brushed, or matt, but avoid antiqued or oxidised finishes that will darken the metals too much.

  • Diamonds | 9kt or 14kt Light Gold | White Gold | Silver | Platinum
Glasses

Always choose a frame that is in a colour or metal from your palette. A mix of light shades, pastels or clear work especially well for you, but avoid darker shades.
