Hi Astrid!
I just finished reading the whole thread & loved doing it, as I'm a total colour nerd. As you know, I'm a self-diagnosed soft summer: for me softness is the most important thing (I can get overwhelmed by colours very easily) and while I can head into soft autumn territory in some shades, I cannot wear mustard yellow to save my life, which is why I decided I was in the summer camp. I'm pretty close to the border, though, so in colours like blues, teals, and pinks, I don't worry as much about warm/cool as soft.
I'm pretty sure my mom is a light spring, and as I happened to recently thrift a couple pieces for her, I thought I'd do a quick comparison of how I look in muted colours vs clearer ones. I just used my iMac camera, and I'm wearing quite a bright blue blouse today (it's as bright as I can go) and my burgundy lipstick, so it's not the best example in the world. But in case it helps. The mint doesn't look too bad at first, but then compare it to the muted teal. The teal looks a part of me, while the mint looks a bit photoshopped (to my eyes). For the pinks, the fuchsia is too bright ( don't know how much this came through in the photo): instead of looking at my face, my eyes go to the shirt. This is even more true in real life. Whereas the dusty rose complements me: my eye goes straight to my face.
I don't know if that will help you, but I hope it does. I think you should take more pictures with more of the fabric in them to decide if you're light or soft (or cool as a true summer). Going from your past outfits posts, I think you look quite good in your mainly dark outfits, which I don't think lighter seasons could pull off as well. But it's harder to tell in photos vs real life. If you don't feel as good in the very muted colours, perhaps try true summer? But I like a bit of contrast in my outfits: if I'm in all medium or all light or all dark I feel off.
