BRIGHT Explained

Clear chroma colors are colors that start out pure. Like a bright red. White or black may be added to create light and dark versions of the color, but the color started with a clear chroma. Pastel pink to bright red to maroon can all be considered "bright" colors (aka clear chroma colors).

SOFT Explained

Soft colors are colors that have been softened in some way. In art, the color on the opposite side of the color wheel can be added to mute a color. You can also add white or black to a color. Adding a touch of green to a bright red will create a muted red. You can then add white or black to create light to dark versions of this muted red. Muted warm colors can have an earthy quality to them. Muted cool colors can have a dusty grey quality to them.

The Soft and Cool Color Palettes Explained

The video below explains the color theory behind the soft and cool color palettes. Understanding how and why a color is in a color palette can help you understand where which color palette you is right for you.

When you wear a brighter color, do you feel good in it or do you feel like it over powers you? If it overpowers you, you may be SOFT. If you can definitely wear brighter colors, but not the brightest color, choose SOFT. If you can wear a clear bright red or bright cool pink well and love it, then choose BRIGHT.

One more way to figure this out. If you wore a bright color, would you see the color first or you first? Bright colors will pop off of muted colors. If your natural coloring and tone is softer, then a bright color will jump forward versus being in harmony with you.
