A palette, not a prescription
The character
True Summer emphasises coolness with softened rather than sharp colour. Experiment with rose, denim blue and blue-green at a similar depth. Look for a colour that you enjoy and feel comfortable wearing instead of treating a category as an identity.
Screen settings and fabric texture change how colours look. Use these swatches as starting points and compare real fabrics in consistent natural light.
