True Summer Color Combination Examples

Summer in Color Analysis: 72 winning color combinations for clothing

Since we sell fan-shaped Shopping Palettes in our online store, we decided to also create a collection of color combination examples for clothing using our palettes.

• Item type: digital product. PDF format file
• Number of pages: 14, of which 12 show examples of color combinations with 6 images per page. Additionally, there is a page describing the Summer type plus a bonus: "Color Analysis Subgroups Chart" is a table of the subgroups within the 4-season theory.
• High quality, suitable for A3 printing
• For each example, the numbers of the shopping palette cards from which it is composed are indicated.

Rules for choosing colors for the Summer season

• Choose cool undertones: The foundation of your wardrobe should consist of colors with bluish, violet, or grayish undertones.
• Avoid warm colors as a base: For main garments, avoid yellowish, golden, orange, or mustard tones. These colors can only be used as accents. However, cool lemon yellow is perfectly suited for the Summer season, even as a primary color.
• Mutedness and softness: Your best colors are "dusty" and toned down. Instead of stark white, it is better to choose ecru or milk white; instead of black, prefer graphite or anthracite gray.
• Pastel shades: Lavender, soft pink, mint, blue-gray, and powdery shades are ideal for the Summer color type.
• Medium contrast level: Avoid combinations that are too sharp (such as bright white with deep black). It is preferable to use monochromatic combinations or color pairings with similar saturation.
• Blue and gray as a base: These are the ideal neutral colors for the Summer type. Denim blue, steel, smoky gray, and silver enhance the freshness of the skin and eyes.
• Berry accents: From the more vivid color palette, choose cool shades: raspberry, cherry, or antique rose.
• Jewelry and metals: To enhance this season, it is preferable to wear silver, white gold, or platinum, avoiding yellow gold or overly warm rose gold.

The shades mentioned in these rules, along with many others, are present in our "Summer Color Analysis Swatch Palette." These guidelines were followed to create the collection of combination examples proposed on this page. However, in some cases we have allowed ourselves small exceptions, as in the world of style and image there is always room for creativity.

For better understanding, we have presented these examples in beautiful images.

We believe that evaluating a color combination is much more intuitive and interesting by looking at an image like this, rather than simple color swatches!

With the help of artificial intelligence, we have created vivid illustrations of girls, coloring their clothes, shoes, and accessories with various color combinations. The shades were taken from our palettes. Color combinations were created both with the aid of the Itten color wheel and without. We have performed this work for each of the four basic color types.

Color Type: True Summer (Absolute, Pure)

The color type of the girls in the images corresponds to the season for which the combination examples are presented. For example, for the Summer type, the girls have light blonde hair, pale skin, and gray eyes. Thanks to this, you can evaluate not only the proposed color combination itself, but also see how this combination will appear on a model with that skin tone.

In other words, we have tried to create a practical product that is as useful as possible. From a large number of examples, choose the one you like, and next to the image of the girl you see the palette of shades for her clothes and accessories, as well as the numbers of the shopping palette cards from which it is composed. If this combination of shades was created according to a color wheel scheme, the name of the scheme is indicated next to it.

Perhaps some combinations might not appeal to you, as we gave the designer the task of creating the maximum number of possible combinations among the shades available in the palette. The result is a rather large number of examples. We invite you to evaluate for yourself which ones are beautiful and which are not, also because everyone has their own preferences in this regard.

But that's not all!.. As a bonus to this collection of examples, we have added a page with a "Color Analysis Subgroups Chart" that will help you understand how to determine your color type belonging.
