About Nicola Coughlan's colors
Why Nicola is a Light Summer.
Nicola has the Light Summer combination: light, cool, and soft, with little contrast between hair, skin, and eyes. Her face wants cool, watercolor-soft shades, soft rose, powder blue, cool mauve, sage, that meet her own gentle depth instead of dominating it.
Bridgerton's jewel tones and stark black get her styled dark, but high-contrast darks overwhelm her in person, a Winter's tool, not hers. She's cool rather than warm, so she's a Light Summer, not a Light Spring (peach and gold sallow her); and she's lighter and fresher than a Soft Summer, so the lightest, coolest Summer pastels wear best on her.

The 12-season map
Where Nicola sits.
Nicola Coughlan's bubble sits in the Summer quadrant, the family of colors that wear her best. The closer a color sits to her, the better it reads on her face.
What this means.
Stay in Summer
Anything in the Summer quadrant is on-team for Nicola, 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 Nicola's face.
The read · Undertone
Fair cool-neutral skin, soft blue eyes, and light blonde-to-light-brown hair, all at a gentle, low contrast. Cool pastels and dusty tones light her up; gold and saturated darks sit heavy on her airy coloring.
Wear it well
- Wear pearl near the face
- Wear soft sky near the face
- Wear powder blue near the face
- Wear cornflower cloud near the face
- Wear rose quartz near the face
