Why Reese Witherspoon is a Light Summer
Reese Witherspoon is a lovely example of Light Summer. Her light features, cool undertone, and low contrast let her come into her own in soft, light, and cool colours. Dove blue, powder pink, lavender, misty green, and other light pastels bring out her natural softness, while strong contrasts and warm colours easily take over. Bright red, orange, black, and other hard or intense shades can make her features look sharper than they are, whereas a cool, muted palette creates a more harmonious overall impression.

Light Summer vs
Light Spring
It's easy to confuse Light Spring and Light Summer because of their light, fresh appearance. Both seasons are light and have relatively low contrast. But while Light Spring is warm, Light Summer is cool. Light Summer's color palette holds more cool pastel tones with touches of blue and gray, while Light Spring's colors have more golden and peachy tones.
