“Emily shows True Summer's quiet elegance — cool mid-tones make both her skin and blue eyes glow” — Stina Lönnkvist, Colour analyst
Why Emily Blunt is a True Summer
True Summer is the coolest season in the Summer palette. It is medium in depth and carries softness without becoming too muted. In Emily Blunt, the balance appears in ash-brown or ash-blonde hair, blue-grey eyes, and balanced contrast that harmonises with cool mid-tones. As a True Summer, you look best in medium blue, slate grey, soft fuchsia, muted emerald, and oyster white. Avoid peach, camel, and mustard; their warmth can make a cool complexion look sallow, while stark white and black can easily become needlessly harsh. Test graphite grey against black: if graphite gives definition without taking over, you are probably a True Summer rather than a True Winter.
Right & wrong colors
for Emily
Flattering
The matte slate-blue dress repeats the cool blue in her eyes, while its softened mid-tone keeps her complexion even and clear.
Why it works
- Cool
- Muted
Less flattering
The warm peach tone sits close to her skin and blurs the contrast in her face; a cooler pink would have been more flattering.
Why it doesn’t
- Warm
- Bright
Emily Blunt in their
best colors
Pair light grey with cool oyster white; neighbouring mid-tones keep the contrast soft and cohesive
Choose matte slate blue near the face; the cool mid-tone picks up blue-grey eyes without creating hard edges
Swap black for graphite when you want depth; the dark neutral frames the face without dominating it
