Bright Spring color palette
Warm-leaning and vivid - the brightest, clearest colour.
Bright Spring sits between Spring and Winter: warm-neutral undertones with high contrast and maximum clarity. Your colours are vivid and saturated - emerald, bright coral and warm fuchsia - and muted, dusty shades are the ones that let you down.
How Bright Spring reads
Undertone
Warm-neutral - mostly warm, with enough clarity to carry cooler brights.
Depth & contrast
Medium depth but high contrast; your colouring has visible pop.
Best chroma
Maximum brightness - clear, saturated colour; anything soft or greyed dulls you.

How to wear it
Wear your colour clean and bold - bright coral, emerald or true red as the focal point, against bright white or warm navy rather than soft, greyed neutrals. Contrast is your friend, so crisp pairings beat blended, tonal ones.
For makeup, keep it clear and defined: warm-bright lips, a defined eye, nothing dusty or smudged into greyed tones.
