​BEST LIGHT COOL true LOOKS
These outfits have been put together to create a better understanding of how to mix and match colors, contrasts, and materials to get that right look for your appointed group.

The LIGHT COOL true, just can't go wrong with a light powdery blue, icy grey, or light ballerina pink. These colors brings out the absolute best in this type. The LIGHT COOL true can actually pull of "baby" colors without it coming off as a childish look.

Purple is an amazing color on the LIGHT COOL true, just make sure the shade is not too bold, but rather has a softness to it. Dark or light, the color should not be very "loud". Try to separate a deep and dark, or highly saturated color, from the soft, light and delicate versio. If it has a little grey or white added to it, it will make any color appear more calm.

The other type of green a LIGHT COOL true can use, is a darker type of cold green. These types of darker LIGHT COOL colors has been lightened to fit the LIGHT COOL color family. This is to make sure the shade doesn't become too saturated, so it can still match the low intencity of this type. If you compare it to dark shades on higher contrast groups, you will notice that this is a softened version of the color.

Navy blue/dark blue is also a great neutral color for the LIGHT COOL true. Just make sure you notice that the LIGHT COOL's navy blue is actually a lot lighter in color than the typical very dark and deep navy.

An all icy grey outfit, is a really great look on the LIGHT COOL true. This is one of your go-to safe colors, instead of black. Combining light grey with black, is also a good cheat so that you can soften a high contrast look into a more calm one (and actually get to wear black, even if it's not your color). Always make sure that your prints and patterns are delicate.

Soft shades of pink, such as blush is a really great color for this delicate group. A lightened version or coral and some shades or peachy pink will look really fresh too.

As any good little summer group, a LIGHT COOL true has too look good in grey-ish shades of brown. If you want a casual and neutral toned look for every day use or basics, grey-brown, taupe, grey, stone, navy blue, soft white, nude, beige, greige and so on, are your colors. Black is best left to days when you can do a full face of makeup.

This soft salmon pink, is part of the reason why it can be so difficult to separate LIGHT COOL and LIGHT WARM colors. Because they do actually share a lot of colors with only slight differences to set them apart.

If you like an edgy look, it's best to do one in your own best colors. You don't need to go all black to be edgy.
Pick and edgy shape or material in a LIGHT COOL color, and it will look a lot more natural and fresh on you.

Soft white is an incredible color on the delicate and light toned LIGHT COOL true. The low contrast level and fair skin makes them perfect for this snow queen look.

Chiffon yellow, is the absolute best type of yellow on the LIGHT COOL true. Also, when accessorizing the LIGHT COOL colors, you want to use soft white, light grey, nude, beige, greige, or something similar. A LIGHT COOL true looks it's best in soft color combinations. Even a LIGHT COOL color can become a little harsh if combined with a high contrasting color. ​

Because the LIGHT COOL is flowing into the LIGHT WARM, it's not as cold as the other cold toned groups. This makes this type of light tomato-red, look surprisingly fresh on the LIGHT COOL true. It will still look a bit more orange on a LIGHT COOL than it would on a LIGHT WARM, but it's still a very pretty look. Just make sure the tomato-red you pick is the lightened, soft and fresh version, not the bold, dirty and fiery version.

Another type of red for this group, is the more pink toned red with a blue undetone. This one is more true to the cold color family, but since the LIGHT COOL true is not purely cold, they can do both. As I've mentioned before, combine a saturated, bold look with either neutral colors or another light tone.

Cold shades of medium to light blue, looks like perfection on the LIGHT COOL true. Few people can look so delicate, fresh, and sweet in blue as this type can. Since the LIGHT COOL true pretty much has the overall look of an ice princess, any color resembling ice or snow will just underline that nordic and fair colored look.

Nude, beige, greige, taupe, and so on, are all great neutral shades for the LIGHT COOL. A lot of types would look incredibly dull in an all nude toned look, but on the LIGHT COOL it just works. Less is more, is a very good rule for this delicate group.

Light shades of blue is the absolute best color on a LIGHT COOL true, next to the light neutral shades. So if you wan't a colorful everyday look, blue is a great color. These blue shades are so good on this type that it can even be matched with black without it becoming too harsh. Light colors will still be a better accessories look, though.

Again, if you're a LIGHT COOL true, purple is your color. This shade might seem dark, but as all LIGHT COOL colors, it has been lightened or softened compared to similar colors on other groups color charts.

Silver, platinum, white gold, and a silver and gold mix are the best metallics for the LIGHT COOL true. Silver is your absolute best metallic, but these others are a close second.

Most shades of cold and light blue will look lovely on this type. You could even say that light and soft blue might be the LIGHT COOL true's absolute best color.

Bright shades of green can also be a good look on the LIGHT COOL true. Just pay extra attention to these particular shades, as this is not emerald green or typical mint green. These colors have a blue undertone, and has been softened. That means that these colors have been lightened to fit this group. Strong colors such as these are best accessorized by using light tones such as grey, for a low contrast look.

Nude, beige, greige, grey, stone, taupe, and all these soft neutral colors are a great look for the LIGHT COOL true. They are also your best colors for accessorizing a bold or dark colored look, as it will help soften the overall impression and keep it light. This dark purple-brown is very much a LIGHT COOL color, but you should still be a little careful with pairing it up with other dark or bold colors. A very dark look can easily become a little dull on this type.

If you want to wear black and white patterns, this is the best way to do so. The small print appears a lot softer and actually comes off as grey.  It's also a great way of doing a black, white, and "bold" colored look. It's technically a little "color cheating", but that's how you do your version of what's traditionally more of a bold and CLEAR look, using LIGHT COOL colors. Patterns and color blocking is best done either monochromatic, all light colors, or pairing dark and bright with soft and light. ​

Another great way of pulling of a black and white look, is to switch it around and go for a "white with black" look. For this to work, the soft white should dominate the look and the black print has to be gentle. Combine it with a neutral tone or a LIGHT COOL color. This look can handle a lot more because of it's lightness.

This "baby colored" outfit, would look really childish on most of the other color types. However, on the LIGHT COOL true, it just looks too good not do it. It comes off as fresh and flattering instead.

This type of soft golden yellow is probably the closest a LIGHT COOL will come to orange (well, next to the tomato red and peachy pink). The LIGHT COOL has enough influence from the LIGHT WARM to pull of hints of orange in other colors, but not enough to actually pull off orange it self.

Picture

This color is a grey-green with blue undertones, similar to the qualities of the color stone. It's a great "dark" color on the LIGHT COOL true, as it comes of deep and rich without actually being very dark and saturated. It also has that cold toned look that makes it brilliant as a metallic, for an ice queen vibe.

Picture

Picture
Gold and rose-gold can also look pretty good on the LIGHT COOL true, because of it's LIGHT WARM sister-group. Silver would still be the absolute best choice, but gold and silver are neutral tones, so it will still work pretty well. Gold comes in third place, after all the other metallics mentioned.

Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what they're talking about on the Internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe you're not more popular because you definitely have the gift.
