Light Spring
The softest Spring. Delicate warm colouring and low contrast. Light peach, warm cream and soft aqua suit best, and heavy shades overwhelm.
Spring · Colour season guide
Warm, clear and bright. Spring colours have sunlight in them: coral, golden yellow, fresh green and warm turquoise. They make Spring skin look lit from within.
Who suits it
Springs usually have warm, delicate colouring: golden or strawberry blonde to light warm brown hair, often with natural highlights. Eyes are clear blue, green or warm hazel, and skin has a peachy or golden cast that freckles rather than reddens. The overall impression is light and fresh rather than heavy.
In practice
Your neutrals. Warm ivory, camel and soft warm grey work as the base of a Spring wardrobe. Warm navy stands in for black.
Jewellery. Gold, rose gold and warm bronze. Silver tends to look cold against Spring skin.
Going deeper
Every season splits three ways. Most people who get their colours wrong have the right season but the wrong sub-season, which is why draping matters.

Warmth is the strongest feature. Coral, golden yellow and clear green are at their best here, with warm ivory in place of white.
Clarity is the strongest feature. Higher contrast colouring that carries vivid coral, hot turquoise and clear poppy red beautifully.
