But they don’t have the same intensity as Light Spring colours. The colours are, however, brighter and more saturated than those of the other two Summer seasons because of Spring’s influence on them. The colours are medium in chroma, meaning they are neither very muted nor extremely vibrant. Those are Winter’s icy lights, which are closer to white than the colours of Light Summer. However, the palette does not include the very lightest colours. There are no dark colours on the palette. Although you may find some medium shades, these are just supporting colours for the lighter tints. In line with Light Summer’s primary aspect, the colours are light.
