Both are neutral palettes… but something feels off. 👀
Then the palettes switch — and suddenly, everything clicks.
Why?
Because Light Summer and Deep Winter may both be neutral-cool seasons, but undertone is only one part of a palette.
Undertone describes where a palette sits on the warm-to-cool spectrum. It does not determine how light, deep, soft, bright, or contrasting the colors are.
Light Summer needs colors that are light, soft, delicate, and gently blended.
Deep Winter needs colors that are deep, rich, defined, and much stronger in contrast.
So even though both palettes share a similar undertone direction, their colors are not interchangeable.
Light Summer colors can look faded on Deep Winter, while Deep Winter colors can feel too heavy and overpowering on Light Summer.
This is why undertone alone is never enough to determine your best colors.
Depth, chroma, and contrast matter just as much.
