About Cate Blanchett's colors

Why Cate is a Light Summer.

Cate is a classic Light Summer: everything about her colouring is light and cool, with gentle, low contrast between hair, skin, and eyes. Her face wants the season's soft, cool pastels — pearl, powder blue, rose quartz, lilac mist, sage sorbet — colours with coolness but no weight. Muted and delicate flatters her, where saturated or dark shades simply take over the face.

She's sometimes mistaken for a Light Spring, but Spring is warm — peach, gold, cream — while her undertone is cool, which puts her in Summer. And she's softer and cooler than a Cool Summer's slightly bolder palette; the gentlest, lightest Summer colours are where she glows.

What this means.

  • Stay in Summer

    Anything in the Summer quadrant is on-team for Cate, even outside her sub-type.

  • Borrow neighbours

    Light Spring and Cool Summer sit either side. Their picks cross over safely.

  • Skip the opposite

    Light Summer sits opposite. Those shades drain Cate's face.

The read · Undertone

Cool, fair ivory skin with a rosy cast, cool light eyes, and naturally ash-toned blonde hair. Silver, white gold, and pearls suit her; yellow gold and warm honey tones turn her skin sallow.
