Color seasons / Spring
Light Spring color palette
Warm, light and delicate - fresh pastels with a sunlit glow.
Light Spring is the lightest of the warm seasons: gentle, warm colouring with low contrast between hair, skin and eyes. Your colours are clear but soft - warm pastels and light, sunlit brights that keep you looking fresh rather than washed out or weighed down.

Warm and golden, but light - peach and gold flatter more than cool pinks.

How to wear it
Build outfits from light and mid tones and keep contrast low - a peach top with camel trousers reads more harmonious on you than a hard black-and-white split. When you want a darker anchor, reach for soft navy or warm brown instead of black.
For makeup, warm peach and coral blush and lip colours flatter the light warmth; keep everything clear and fresh rather than dark or smoky.
Frequently asked
What colors are best for Light Spring?
Warm pastels and light, clear brights: peach, coral, warm pink, light warm yellow, aqua and periwinkle. They match the light warmth of your colouring without overwhelming it.
What colors should Light Spring avoid?
Dark, heavy and cool colours - black, burgundy, charcoal and deep plum - which are far deeper than your natural colouring and tend to drain it. Swap black for soft navy or warm brown.
How do I know if I'm a Light Spring?
You read light and warm overall, with soft, low contrast between your hair, skin and eyes, and you suit fresh, clear colours more than muted or very dark ones. Upload a photo to the free Color Analysis to check your season in seconds.

Seasonal colour analysis is a well-known styling framework, not a science. Your season is a useful starting point for a wardrobe, not a rule - plenty of people wear colours outside their season and look great.
