About Taylor Swift's colors
Why Taylor is a Light Summer.
Taylor's coloring is light and cool with very little contrast, the Light Summer signature. She wants soft, cool, dusty pastels: powder blue, rose quartz, lilac, dove grey. These match her gentle depth, so they stay with her face instead of swallowing it the way saturated or dark shades do.
She's sometimes read as a Light Spring, but Spring is warm and Taylor's undertone is cool, warm peach and gold pull a sallow cast on her, while cool rose and silver clear her skin. She's softer and cooler than a Cool Summer, which is why the lightest, gentlest Summer palette suits her best.

Where Taylor sits.
Taylor Swift'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 Taylor, 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 Taylor's face.
The read · Undertone
Cool-neutral fair skin with no warmth in it, soft blue-grey eyes, and naturally cool-blonde hair. Silver and soft pastels light her up; gold and heavy darks sit too hard against her delicate, low-contrast 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
