Light shades of beige, greige, nude, and grey, are all great basic colors for the LIGHT WARM neutral, and one of the best alternatives to black. Darker shades of grey can look good too. The LIGHT WARM may look their best in fresh, warm colors, but a neutral basic color can work just as well too.

The LIGHT WARM kind of dark blue and navy color, is a colorful and fresh one. ​​The LIGHT WARM neutral, looks particularly great in blue, and sky blue, aqua, turquoise blue, and periwinkle blue are some of the best matches. As long as it's fresh, light enough, and has the right level of saturation. Familiarize yourself with the shades of blue on the LIGHT WARM chart, and look for colors that look like that. LIGHT COOL shades of blue, can work too, but anything other than that, might be too much for this delicate group.

Light warm colors, such as light warm beige, light warm to neutral pink, and light peach, are good color options for a light and calm look. 
​Grey can also be a good darker color choice. If you like an edgy or goth look, find pieces in colors that work for you, as many dark colors can wash you out.

Sky blue and light aqua, are great shades of blue for the LIGHT WARM neutral. Blue can work really well for both the LIGHT WARM and the cusping group, LIGHT COOL, so it's considered a pretty safe color. Just take notice of the delicate nature of the colors a LIGHT WARM needs, and don't go with too wild or dark colors.

Golden yellow can also be a really lovely color on the LIGHT WARM. As any LIGHT WARM, also the neutral sub-group should look good in yellow. If this shade of yellow is bad on you, you might be a LIGHT COOL instead. A great way of combining colors for the less warm, neutral, is to mix LIGHT WARM colors with neutral basics, to not overwhelm their natural coloring. ​

Mint green and warm shades of blue, such as turquoise​, sky blue, and aqua is always a great look for a LIGHT WARM. This is a makeup free go too, as it brings out the warmth in the skin in a really fresh way. ​Medium brown or grey can also be a good darker color choice. Just don't mistake this shade of brown for the Summer color, grey-brown.

Warm and neutral shades of pink and peach in most variations are great colors for the LIGHT WARM neutral, but remember that there is a difference between hot pink and fuchsia. Fuchsia has a cold undertone, and this group is still leaning slightly more towards the warm side. However, some cold shades of pink work really great on the LIGHT WARM neutral, but only LIGHT COOL types of pink. The LIGTH WARM neutral, is borderline LIGHT COOL, and can get away with some of those colors. ​Even a neutral type, borderline another, will still look better in it's own colors. The trick is that they can borrow sister-group colors without looking bad.

The LIGHT WARM neutral, is leaning slightly more towards WARM, and can be described as borderline COOL. So naturally, light blue can be a really great color on them. Most of the LIGHT WARM and LIGHT COOL shades of blue will work, since light blue is such a go-to color on the LIGHT types to begin with. The more important thing to stay away from, are dark, deep and bold colors, as they are too much for such a delicate group. In the right shades, your face should look radiant.

Peach, watermelon and, apricot, makes a LIGHT WARM neutral, glow. Color blocking is best done with little contrast and a lot of fresh, light colors. Make sure the look doens't get too heavy or bold.

Purple, periwinkle, medium purple, warm violet, lilac, mint, sky blue, light aqua and periwinkle blue are all great colors on the LIGHT WARM soft. It's just important not to confuse these colors with powder blue, royal blue, bright violet, or deep shades of blue and purple. Those colors are too bold, cold, dirty, deep, and wild. 

Peach, soft peach, and rose gold, are great colors on the LIGHT WARM soft, as the warmest of the LIGHT WARM sub-groups. Just don't confuse these shades for dirty and dusty pink, which is too muddy for this fresh faced group.

Light warm colors, such as light warm beige, light warm to neutral pink, and light peach, are good color options for a light and calm look. It's also a good choice for basics, such as shoes, scarves, coats and so on. Light, warm colors make the LIGHT WARM glow. ​

Any kind of gold color variation is a great look on the LIGHT WARM soft, and it's by far the best metal for this warm group. Silver can look good too and is a close second. Bronze can work as long as it's not a too dark version.

​Tomato red is the darkest and deepest type of red a LIGHT WARM should use. This shade of tomato red above, is not really that dark, so that says a lot. Dark colors are very difficult to handle for the LIGHT WARM soft. Fresh, warm, and bright colors, is what makes this group shine.

Warm and neutral shades of pink and peach in most variations are great colors for the LIGHT WARM soft, but remember that there is a difference between hot pink and fuchsia. As I've mentioned before, fuchsia has a cold undertone, and this group needs warm colors. 

Warm pink, turquoise​, and mint green together makes for a fresh and colorful, but still light and delicate (enough) look. This is also a more color appropriate way of doing color blocking for a type as light as the LIGHT WARM soft.

Silver, greige and a silver-gold mix can be a really great look on the LIGHT WARM soft.
Purple is also a great color on this type, as long as it's the right kind of purple. Not too deep and saturated. Purple is the complementary color of yellow, so it will really bring out the warm undertones of the LIGHT WARM soft. 

The LIGHT WARM soft, looks great in sky blue, aqua, turquoise blue, and periwinkle blue. Blue in general is a good look for this type as long as it's fresh, light enough, and has the right level of saturation. However, it's important not to confuse these colors with powder blue and royal blue, because those colors are too bold, cold, and/or dark. Dark and dirty colors that you don't see on the LIGHT WARM chart, can run a high risk of washing you out.

Golden yellow, to lemon, and light lemon yellow are the best types of yellow for this particular sub-group. Yellow combined with gold, is an even more striking and radiant look. ​

If the LIGHT WARM is to wear a type of dark blue or navy color, make sure it's still saturated and fresh. Golden yellow can also be a really lovely color on the LIGHT WARM. Combined with shades of warm and fresh green, blue, and golden brown, you'll get a really warm and colorful look with a little more edge than the typical "innocent", LIGHT WARM look. The colors should still be done with LIGHT WARM colors, not autumn ones. The spicy look comes from the combination. It's a spring way of doing an autumn look. ​

Tomato red, in it's lightest and softest form is a great kind og orange-like red for the LIGHT WARM. Orange in it self is also a good look, but that too has to be light, fresh and not too saturated. Accessorize with light or fresh colors too avoid a harsh look.

Light warm colors such as light warm beige and light peach, are good color options for a light and calm look. It's also a good choice for basics, such as shoes, scarves, coats and so on. Light, warm colors make the LIGHT WARM glow. 

Golden brown, camel, warm beige, and this fresh type of moss green and olive green, can be great colors on the LIGHT WARM. Beige and camel can also be great basic colors instead of black and navy, which are too dark for the LIGHT WARM. Here too, you need to make sure you don't go too autumn. Brown and green together can look very autumn if you mistake these colors for dirty ones instead of fresh.

Beige, greige, nude, natural white, cream, ivory and so on, are all great colors on the LIGHT WARM true. Just make sure you pick a warm shade and not a cold one. You want a yellow undertone, not a blue, purple or pink one. Unless it's a warm and peachy pink, that is.
The same goes for blue jeans. Make sure the jeans color isn't too cold, as there are some differences in undertones for jeans colors as well.

Fresh variations of green is a great look for the LIGHT WARM true. Kelly green, jade green, pear green, true green, and so on, are all good color choices. Just take notice of the level of saturation, you want it to be fresh and medium to light saturated. If it starts to look like emerald green it' s too saturated and bold.

Warm pink, light aqua, and light grey together makes for a fresh and colorful, but still light and delicate (enough) look. This is also a more color appropriate way of doing color blocking for a type as light as the LIGHT WARM true.

Mint green and warm shades of blue, such as turquoise​, sky blue, and aqua is always a great look for a LIGHT WARM. This is a makeup free go too, as it brings out the warmth in the skin in a really fresh way. ​Medium brown or grey can also be a good darker color choice. If you like an edgy or goth look, find pieces in colors that work for you, as many dark colors can wash you out. Don't mistake this shade of brown for the Summer color, grey-brown.

Even though the LIGHT WARM neutral looks it's best with blonde hair, soft copper, caramel an other typical warm hair colors can look really nice as well, and is a good indicator that this neutral is slightly more warm than cold. The warmth of the hair color, as the one in the photo above, would look draining on the skin color of a true LIGHT COOL. The neutral might be really hard to pin point, but details such as this one, is usually helpful.

Light, warm, and fresh colors looks amazing on any LIGHT WARM, as seen above. This sub-group is a LIGHT WARM neutral, so powdery summer colors such as the LIGHT COOL colors can look nice too. Especially the colors with similarities with the LIGHT WARM colors, such as baby pink, baby blue and so on. The most extreme LIGHT WARM neutrals, has the ability to merge in the look of the LIGHT COOL, if it's done right. The photos below are a good example of that versatility.

The amazing thing about the neutral, is that with colors such as pink and blue specifically, it can be difficult to decide which is better. At least until you discover that the warm pink gives more of a fresh glow. When compared to the LIGHT WARM colors all the way at the top, you can tell that the cold pink is still not their absolute best look. But without the comparison, you can't really tell. 

The LIGHT WARM neutral is both connected to the LIGHT COOL as well as the CLEAR WARM, so borrowing colors from the CLEAR WARM (above) can also work pretty well. Just be careful, as it can quickly be too saturated for you.
Bold, deep, and dark colors however, is the LIGHT WARMs biggest NO, as it's just too harsh for their delicate coloring (below).

Switching to cooler shades of blue, more typical for a LIGHT COOL, you can tell that it still looks good on her. All the warm blue above, is still a little more striking, but the powdery cool shades of blue below, is still a really natural look on her. 

The cold red above, would normally be a bad color on a warm type, such as the LIGHT WARM, but on a neutral it looks kind of good. It's not her best look, but it's not bad on her either. The ashy hair color help the transition into cool colors as the overall look seems neutral, not warm. 
In the images below, you can tell that the worst mistake for a LIGHT WARM neutral, is colors that are too bold, dark, and wild. They overpower her delicate coloring, and if it weren't for the makeup, her outfits would probably take all of the attention. 

Different LIGHT WARM neutrals can have different levels of warmth. For example, Amanda Seyfried is even more neutral than Scarlett Johansson. ​She is  one of those LIGHT WARM neutrals, that keep me on my toes. But, every time I go through all the colors on her, I still come up with the same conclusion; she is a LIGHT WARM neutral. Mostly light, and maybe only 1% more towards WARM, but still WARM. The fact that a little warmth in her hair, is better than the ashy blonde, and that it actually looks softer towards her delicate skin, is a good tiebreaker. The fact that she can pull of yellow, and warm pink being slightly better than cold pink, are some of the other things that make her pull slightly more towards the WARM.

Amanda Seyfried is a particularly difficult neutral to pin point. She looks good in both cold and warm colors, and the only truly difficult thing for her, is very dark and bold colors, as her coloring is so incredibly delicate. She's a good example of that sensitive skin types have to be more careful with colors that aren't for them. The warm colors were only slightly better on her, and some of the cold colors were not so great, so I put here in the LIGHT WARM neutral group. A more accurate definition would probably be, LIGHT neutral.

As you can tell from the images above, cold pink and grey is not a bad color on her, although warm pink would be a little better. Bold, saturated colors overpower her and look too bright for her subtle coloring. Good colors, a little too saturated. (below). 

The worst look however, are dark and deep, colors that are also cold, such as shown in the photos below.

LIGHT WARM neutral, Scarlett Johansson, can get away with many colors from golden blonde, to shades of copper and red, to deep brown. The common denominator is that all the colors are warm or neutral, and not too bold or wild. Not all LIGHT WARM neutrals could look this good in dark hair, and light hair, such as the fresh golden blonde to dark blonde is a much safer bet. 

Here you can see the same red-brown hair as above, but paired with a pink-red lipstick with a blue undertone, her skin looks less fresh and the hair and lip steals most of of the attention. Berry colors are some of the worst for a LIGHT WARM. So, even for a neutral, it's difficult to make it work.

The dusty pink, soft dirty orange, and the deep red above proves that she's not a SOFT and not a COOL, and definitely not a DEEP or MUTED. She's not soft and cold enough, or warm and earthy enough too handle these dusty, dirty colors. She still looks pretty, but the colors fade her natural glow.
The colors in the photos below, are not as bad, but the black outfit with the deep lip is still a bit dull on her. It can work if you're going for that particular expression.
The plum color, also below, is something a SOFT, DEEP or CLEAR COOL would wear. As a neutral, she can sort of pull it off, but it looks a little unnatural on her. The combination of warm eye makeup and cold colored dress, makes it even more obvious, and highlight the clash of cold and warm.
​The bottom green below, is actually almost a good color on her. It's a tad too saturated, and the blueish red lip is too bold, too cold, and together with the green, more of a DEEP COOL look. In the right colors, a LIGHT WARM should have a fresh, warm, and sunny glow. It can sometimes be a matter of taste, but it will still have a negative impact on skin, hair and eyes if you don't wear the colors that suits your natural coloring. 

These colors below, are not completely off, but they are way too bright and saturated, and something a CLEAR WARM bright or a CLEAR COOL bright should wear. You would need a lot of makeup to keep up with these bright hues, as they shine brighter than the woman, and who would want that? 

To compare with the colors that are right for here (below), you can tell that warm, sunny and fresh colors are just the right amount of color pop, but still light enough to not overpower her natural coloring. 

Ivory, cream white, grey, greige and warm beige are good neutral colors for the LIGHT WARM true. If they want to use black, white and black together in small patterns can be a good way of softening the overall harsh look of black, or black and white together. If you must wear the wrong color, it's really important to use the right color on your makeup and hair color. You cant break too many rules at one time without looking washed out. A fresh natural makeup look in the right colors will keep the LIGHT WARM looking fresh and sunny even in black. 

​Although the sister group of the LIGHT WARM neutral, is the LIGHT COOL, the LIGHT WARM is also rather close to the CLEAR WARM. So, since these groups are all connected, colors from all three groups can be acceptable. One of the ideas behind this color system, was to explain the levels of good colors and bad colors, giving you more options and a how to get away with it. For a fresh faced makeup free look, always go for LIGHT WARM colors. For more options a neutral can experiment with LIGHT COOL colors, and for full on fashion fun, you can put a full face on and wear CLEAR WARM colors. The CLEAR WARM colors  will be a little too saturated, and the LIGHT WARM colors a little too cold. There remaining color groups, not directly connected to the LIGHT WARM neutral, will be the colors that won't really work, not even with makeup.

Light blonde, golden blonde, toffee, and dark brown, it all looks nice on the gorgeous Margot Robbie. Because of her great skin and good makeup, even the too dark hair didn't turn out to be a very noticeable beauty spoiler. But, if you look closely, you can tell that blonde hair makes her appear more radiant than the brunette looks. 
In the photo below, you can tell the difference a good makeup look can make. Compared to the photo above, the combination of dark hair, deep cool lips, and silver accessories, is not as flattering on the beautiful Margot Robbie. 
With blonde hair (below), the dark and deep lip and a black outfit actually looks a little better. She does look a little less fresh faced than she usually does, and it can give a little bit of a goth look, but the right hair still helps. However, a goth look can sometimes be desired, and in that case, a goth style is also more flattering with the right hair color. Only the DEEP COOL will look fresh faced and not look goth, in goth makeup.

Finally, The three images below illustrates the three levels of wrong.
1.Too dark hair and the makeup is too deep and cold. Avoid at all cost.
2. Too deep and cold lips, and clothing too dark, but the right hair. Ok, if that's what you're going for.
3. The red lips and hair is right for this type, and only the outfit is too dark. So, with the right hair and makeup and the wrong clothing, you can stil look fresh. Just a little harsh looking. 

There are also other ways of tricking the eye, and something like this image below is another good example. The perfect makeup and the perfect hair color for the LIGHT WARM true, combined with a light grey and black contrast instead of an all black look, will appear much softer and you forget that black actually isn't a great color on the LIGHT WARM.

In a deep and cold red, you can tell that Margot Robbie's skin looks less radiant that usual (above).
​ In the right colors, a LIGHT WARM true looks like a fresh faced angel (below).

Busy Philipps is a great example of a LIGHT WARM true that is flowing into the CLEAR WARM true, as these groups are sister groups. Many LIGHT WARM true, can look pretty good in CLEAR WARM colors, as long as they use a little makeup to keep up with the bolder look.  However, she is still a LIGHT WARM and has a delicate coloring the way true LIGHT WARM does.  

Brittany Snow, is such a perfect example of how great the LIGHT WARM true looks with blonde hair in lemon yellow. She really does look like sunshine.

This is probably Brittany Snow's natural hair color, which is still a good look on her, as well as the toffee brown/soft copper hair below, but she's not a LIGHT WARM soft, so the most amazingly striking color on her is still bombshell blonde. The dark brown (below), is a pretty look on a pretty girl, but it's not as special on her as the light hair. The right hair color should make a LIGHT WARM true, shine.

In the images below, you can tell what Brittany Snow, is truly a LIGHT WARM true.

Warm red and tomato red is a great shade on the LIGHT WARM true. Just make sure it's not too saturated. Also, a cold or dirty red, does not bring out the best of this fresh faced group.

As you can see in the photo above, too saturated colors overpower the delicate LIGHT WARM true. Even with the right hair color. Too strong colors is actually worse than pitch black, as black is not actually a color and has a little bit less influence on skin tone. Black is still not a LIGHT WARM color, though.

Kate Hudson, is also a natural brunette towards light brown, but golden blonde hair is so amazing on her that she can't be anything but a LIGHT WARM true. The fact that yellow, and all these fresh and sunny colors look so amazing on her, is just another confirmation.

If you look at the difference between the red above and the red below, you can tell that a warm red with some white added to it, is the right shade for the LIGHT WARM true. The red below is still warm and not that bad, but just a little bit too bold for her. The rust red in the image below the bold red, is a little too dirty. Not bad, but not as fresh on her as the red color above.

Pure white can look ok on the LIGHT WARM, although it's more ment for the CLEAR COOL. Ivory and cream are still much better on the warm groups, as it's goes better with the skin and hair of a WARM. 
Silver will also look quite ok on the LIGHT WARM, but Gold is even better.

Bright hair, glowing skin, and fresh red lips, is a perfect example of how to pull of black for the LIGHT WARM true.
The color below however, is not such an easy task to get away with. Summer colors are ment for the LIGHT COOL, PURE COOL and SOFT COOL, and just too muddy and cold for this warm and sunny group. 

As a true LIGHT WARM, a brunette look or a ashy color can appear a little mousy or dull. Compared to the golden blonde color at the top, you can tell how much the hair color affects the overall appearance.

A LIGHT WARM true, in the right LIGHT WARM colors, has an amazing and fresh look to them (above). 

 The cold summer and winter colors below, are vividly not her colors. The colors are too dirty, cold and deep, and drain the color from her face and hair, making her skin appear a bit sickly.

Instead of the little black dress, the best classic look for the LIGHT WARM true, is the little cream or ivory dress with gold accessories. It brings out the skin, the eyes, and the hair to it's fullest. 

In the images above, you can see what a LIGHT WARM true is supposed to look like in their best colors. Below, you can see examples of how black need a bit of help from makeup and bright hair to not look dull. The natural makeup look did not have enough contrast for that black top, compared to the styling in the image at the bottom, below. 

As I've mentioned before, there are levels of right and wrong when it comes to borrowing colors from other groups (below).
The cold red is not good for the LIGHT WARM skin tone, and the bottom image illustrates how you know that Elizabeth Banks is a LIGHT WARM and not a CLEAR WARM. The color combinations of that CLEAR WARM print is too much for her. It's not terrible on her, but too saturated, and a little overpowering. 

Amy Adams is a natural dark blonde, but as the LIGHT WARM soft she is, red hair looks completely natural on her. The difference between the LIGHT WARM soft and the CLEAR WARM soft, is that the LIGHT WARM version can be a little more delicate, because of their autumn influence. They will often have pale skin and delicate features, which is also what makes them perfect for the red head look (they can look like any other LIGHT WARM too thought). A CLEAR WARM soft, can often look great as brunettes as well, while the LIGHT WARM soft can in many cases be too delicate for a deep chocolate brown look. It can look nice, but softer such as a rondette hair is recommended instead.

As for all LIGHT WARMs, the black and white look is always best if it's done in more of a ivory with black look. More ivory, less black. Fresh colored lips and a winged eye liner will also help to compete with the contrast of the harsh black and white contrast of the outfit. If you look at the difference between the image above and below, you can tell that the image above is a better look for Amy Adams. 

Not all red heads are autumn types, and the photos below is a good example of how deep, saturated, dirty colors, or an autumn look in general, is the wrong look for the LIGHT WARM soft. If you want an autumn look, do it with colors resembling autumn colors on the LIGHT WARM chart. Or, borrow colors that are fresh enough from the MUTED WARM or SOFT WARM. Dirty, deep and muted colors are not for you.

Nicole Kidman, is a natural copper blonde, and a perfect example of how the LIGHT WARM soft is the natural red head that can look good with blonde hair. They just have to be careful to not go too cold blonde or ashy. A LIGHT WARM soft needs a little warmth in their hair. 

In the images above, you can see how LIGHT WARM colors can be anything from what you traditionally think of as spring colors, but also fresh versions of something more associated with autumn colors. The LIGHT WARM soft's best colors are those that resemble an autumn look on the LIGHT WARM chart. The only thing wrong with the brown dress in the bottom photo, above, is the harsh black and red pattern. 
If you must use black, a more subtle and calm approach would be preferable, as seen in the photos below. 

Too bold and saturated colors as well as cold colors are especially draining on the LIGHT WARM soft. As the warmest of the LIGHT WARM types, their softer and warmer look makes it even more important to keep it LIGHT and WARM.

Most shades from red to blonde works for the LIGHT WARM soft. As long as it's a warm color, and medium to light, it will most likely look good on this type. Mousy and ashy shades are not a good look (unless you keep your natural color), and golden, caramel, copper, strawberry blonde, and golden blonde is a much better look.

A LIGHT WARM soft, wearing the right colors, has an incredibly striking look, that is both delicate and fiery at the same time (above). 

The CLEAR WARM is one of the groups that can't really handle black, that somehow still look good in it, when done right. The LIGHT WARM is similar to the CLEAR WARM, but is a lot lighter and more delicate. For a LIGHT WARM to get away with black, wearing the right makeup and/or having the right hair color for your type can really help. Even for a LIGHT WARM soft as Christina Hendricks, this black outfit doesn't overpower her, because her hair and skin contrast is so bright that you still see her. The fresh pink lips and black eye liner also helps to bring out the eyes and face in general, as seeing the outfit and not the person can be a problem when wearing colors that normally would overpower you. When it comes to black and white together, white with black is the better choice, as you can see in the photos above.

 A fresh and bright hair color can help a LIGHT WARM soft, to get away with colors that aren't meant for them. From the bright and clear colors, to the deep and cold colors (above), her hair color and perfect makeup saves the look. But it would not be a look recommended for makeup free days. ​
The colors and looks below however, are just too saturated, high in contrast, or too faded and dirty for a LIGHT WARMs natural coloring. A beautiful woman will always be a beautiful woman, but sometimes the clothes can steal too much attention from her face and features. 

You don't have to be fair skinned or a red-head to be a LIGHT WARM soft. Jasmine Sanders has the same level of warmth as a LIGHT WARM soft, and looks her best in those colors. She might have the typical SOFT COOL look, but she looks her best in light, fresh, warm, golden, and bright shades. Berry colors, cool and soft shades, and dusty cold hues is a little less striking on her, proving that she does not have a SOFT COOL coloring.
