Yes, I’d call it “Desert Rose”.

So true, Rachel. It is a difference between health and youth versus corpse-like when the Brights wear Summer colors. The difference in the colour swatch on paper seems so slight but it is very powerful when worn next to skin.

I haven’t yet determined for sure whether I’m a clear/bright winter or a clear/bright spring, but I’m pretty confident I’m one or the other, so these sorts of colors are exactly what I’ve been wrestling with lately. The winter (or clear spring) shades of these colors are very “sharp”; the summer ones less so. It’s amazing how subtle the differences are in the colors themselves and yet what a vast difference it makes in how they look ON!

I have a number of tops that are akin to the colors on the left – particularly the bottom one – that I thought looked good on me because I knew bright colors worked well on me. And they do look okay. But they just don’t “do it” for me like the shirt I’m wearing today – which exactly matches the bottom RIGHT swatch.

Ksenia,

You’re very right. They are similar. If you saw the colour in a whole item of clothing though, you’d pick out which is a light breeze and which is exactly what you say, “harder”.
Winter is hard, absolutely, in Nature, in the people who comprise the Season, and in the colour palette they all share.

It’s a very fascinating and useful article, thank you so much! It’s pretty hard to catch the colors for True Summers..
BTW, as for me, the 2nd coral for True Summer seems to be so similar to the 3rd one for Dark Winter… Almost the same! Or nevertheless does it only seem and Winter’s coral is harder anyway?
