Moonlight Summer
Color Me a SeasonMOONLIGHT SUMMER — (Summer mixed with Winter) Hair coloring: dark ash brown to brunette or silver hair, that could place them in Winter, but they do not drape best in dark Winter colors. Their fan may include black or charcoal-gray, best worn with white or cream. Eyes are usually blue, but might also be light green or light brown (though brown eyes are rare for Summers).
You get the seasonal palette you fall in, and then you mark the best colors for your sub season. For Moonlight summer (summer/winter), it's the darkest colors at the end of these cards.
Moonlight Summer -Summer/Winter: Bouquet Colors; All, Strips; Note that position A is best, but can also wear positions B, C and E. 1 A-E but with E position as best, 7, 11, 12, 13, 20, 23, 26, 28, 29, 30, 34-36, 38, 40

Fujii's High-Contrast Summer: The High-Contrast Summer woman has the cool- light skintone of a High-Contrast Winter, but her hair color is lighter and softer, ranging from a medium ash brown to a burgundy brown. Also, her overall look is softer than that of a High-Contrast Winter. She does not tan easily. Even though there is a definite softness to her overall look, her palette includes some deeper and more intense colors. Her palette is general cool, with saturated jewel-tone colors.
Neutrals such as rosewood, cocoa brown and charcoal blend will with highlights in her brown hair.
Other colors which look terrific on her include dusty rose, rose coral, dark teal blue, rugby red, and emerald green. Her best metals are silver or pewter and her best white is off white.
Great color combinations: Emerald green with rose red, plum and mauve, magenta and purple, teal blue and wine, cognac and grape, mono chromatics of almost any hues (colors).
Skin: Pink undertone. Porcelain, rose beige, can have light to medium brown freckles, ruddy, possibly uneven complexion, can have a slight yellow tint on the surface of the skin.
Hair: Ash brown, burnt umber, grayish brown, chestnut brown, burgundy brown.
Eyes: Blue, gray-blue, soft gray, green, gray-green, hazel, aqua, soft cool brown.
Do's: If you hair coloring is darker burgundy brown, you can wear black as a dominant color, especially in the evening, because under artificial lighting, your hair will appear darker than it is. For a more dramatic look, add a little darker eye makeup.
Don'ts: Do not use extremely bright colors such as tangerine orange, lime green or golden yellow.
Makeup suggestions for HC Summer: Lipstick: Deep Rose Blush: Ginger Rose (just slightly warmer, but on the cool side)

High Contrast Summer
Even though I was analyzed in the Color Alliance system, I found another system that has a High Contrast Summer, and that is Donna Fujii.
Fujii's High-Contrast Summer:
The High-Contrast Summer woman has the cool- light skintone of a High-Contrast Winter, but her hair color is lighter and softer, ranging from a medium ash brown to a burgundy brown. Also, her overall look is softer than that of a High-Contrast Winter. She does not tan easily.
Even though there is a definite softness to her overall look, her palette includes some deeper and more intense colors. Her palette is general cook, with saturated jewel-tone colors. Neutrals such as rosewood, cocoa brown and charcoal blend will with highlights in her brown hair. Other colors which look terrific on her include dusty rose, rose coral, dark teal blue, rugby red, and emerald green.
Neutrals: The Neutrals are colors which go with almost everything and form the foundation for building a wardrobe. The traditional Neutrals are black, navy, grays, browns, camel, taupe, beige, ivory, white and olive green. A contemporary list of neutrals would include copper, mauve, eggplant, mustard, forest green and burgundy. Neutrals are used for jackets, coats, hats, shoes, and other items that must have the versatility of going with several different colors.
Romantic Reds: The Romantic Reds are the softer reds, such as pink, rose, and coral, which project a more friendly and romantic mood. For best effect, your Romantic Reds should coordinate well with the coolness or warmth in your skin tone. This is because your Romantic Reds are closely related to your skin tone colors and any disharmony would be obvious.
Reds: Like the Dramatics, the bright and deep Reds also tend to attract attention to you. They are great for parties, speeches, or just to attract attention. Like the Romantic Reds, your Reds must closely match your skin color in terms of coolness or warmth, because they will flatter or undermine your skin tone.
Dramatics: The Dramatics include the blues, periwinkle blue, blue green, turquoise, teal, green and aquamarine. Dramatics are complementary to the reds of most skin tones in that they lie on the opposite side of the color wheel from the reds. For that reason, they create a certain tension that translates into a high-energy and eye-catching look. So if you plan to wear Dramatic colors, get ready to be the center of attention.
Understateds: Understateds have less color energy than the Dramatics, but more energy than the Neutrals. These colors are restrained and subtle, and project refinement and elegance. Understated colors play a supportive role to your natural coloring. Wear understated colors when you wish to create a more subdued and conservative impression. Examples of Understateds include the soft yellows, blues, greens, and lavender.
Metals: The gold, silver, pewter, copper or bronze found in your metal accessories such as wristband, eyeglass frames, bracelets, etc. are your metals or metallics. Wearing your best metal for your natural coloring and wardrobe can enhance your beauty. Matching your metal acccessories will creae a more harmonious look.
