It would be interesting to know what made me a slightly “harder” case to analyze, if there’s time for a brief answer?

When a color analysis feels a bit extra tricky, it’s often because certain features can point in different directions. In your case, the main track was Soft Summer, but since you mentioned Spring in the form, we wanted to look again to be completely sure no warm season fit better.

Why could Spring have been relevant?

• You perhaps feel that certain warmer colors, like soft orange or peach, can work.
• Your skin tone has elements that aren’t ice-cold, which sometimes hints at Spring warmth.
• The lighting in your photos might initially give the impression of more clarity than a typical Soft Summer has.

When comparing with the truly clear and warm Spring colors, however, it became apparent that they drew focus away from the face. The muted, somewhat cooler tones from Soft Summer enhanced you better and gave a calmer overall look.

What characterizes Soft Summer?

• Muted colors with low contrast – nothing should be too loud or strong.
• A slight hint of warmth borrowed from autumn means some softly warm shades work, but the palette is fundamentally cool.
• The mix of cool and mild means both jewelry and makeup preferably should be silver or rose gold rather than clear gold.

Conclusion

You became a “harder” case mainly because we needed to properly rule out Spring. When we saw how the clear Spring colors affected the skin and eyes, we could confidently land on Soft Summer. The most important thing for you is therefore to stick to the soft, muted tones and avoid colors that are too strong or golden-yellow.
