Color Guide
Light Spring
Light Spring is the softest of the Spring family — warm undertones paired with very low contrast and a light, airy quality. Your coloring is delicate and luminous, like the first pale blossoms of the season.
The Light Spring color palette is built around warmth and lightness. People with this season typically have fair to light skin with golden or peachy undertones, light eyes in blue, green, or hazel, and hair ranging from blonde to light golden brown. The defining characteristic is low contrast between features — everything blends harmoniously. Heavy, dark, or cool colors overwhelm this season; instead, the Light Spring palette thrives on soft peaches, warm ivories, aquas, and light corals that mirror the gentle warmth of early spring mornings.
