How many colours can I get away with for a summer capsule wardrobe?

I've decided I need to build a capsule wardrobe for my summer stuff as i always struggle to put a summer outfit together.

I've decided on navy blue as my main base colour as I'm a pear so need a dark colour on the bottom and don't often wear black.

Shoes and bag wise I'll team the navy blue with browns, neutrals and maybe a bit of gold for evening.

The trouble is I have a list of colours I regularly wear with navy blue so I'm wondering how many of them I can get away with, they are:-

brown
white
lemon yellow
mint green
teal
red
lilac
pink
apricot / coral
grey

What do you think the best combination of colours would be?

For the summer I would wear all the colours on top except the brown and the grey which for me are winter colours. For a bag I would be more daring than brown? Not much help :(

I know this isn't a summer wardrobe, but the colours look good together here. Is that the sort of colours you like?
