About This Palette

The soft summer color palette is defined by cool, muted colors with a gentle gray undertone. Think misty mornings, lavender fields, and weathered driftwood. These colors sit at the boundary between summer and autumn — cool like summer, but softened like autumn. Soft summers look best in dusty blues, muted mauves, soft teals, and gentle grays rather than bright or vivid shades.
