“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 has medium depth and is soft without becoming too muted. Emily Blunt's ash-brown or ash-blonde hair, blue-grey eyes, and balanced level of contrast all harmonise 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 look too 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 echoes 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

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 brings out blue-grey eyes without creating hard edges
Swap black for graphite when you want depth; the dark neutral frames the face without dominating it
