Taylor Swift is a Light Summer. Her cool, fair skin, soft blue eyes, and low natural contrast sit in the light, cool, soft corner — where powder blue, rose quartz, lilac, and soft sage flatter her, while anything dark or warm overwhelms her.

Like river stone and morning fog.

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.

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
