Pale peach, light dove grey, palest mint green and aqua. Light Spring's best colours are (unsurprisingly!) the lightest Spring colours. Light Springs often have very light clear eye colour, such as pale grey, blue or green, and hair that can look ashier than the golden tones of True Spring.Īgain, if we were to put Light Spring's colours onto one big spectrum of all four seasons, its colours would fall towards the Summer end of the Spring palette. The darkest of the Spring browns can often be too gloomy, with bright navy and dove grey making for better neutrals. Tints (ie base Spring colours that have had white added to make them lighter and clearer) feature heavily in the Light Spring palette - the colours never get too dark and heavy. This is the Spring palette with some of the intensity and saturation removed. ![]() Your best Kettlewell colours: paprika, deep salmon, coral, coral red, geranium, buttercup, soft gold, yellow ochre, new lime, lime, mallard, soft teal, corn yellow, tomato, seaspray, beige, sand, light sand, nut brown, chocolate, tan, gold lace. True Spring’s best colours are usually warm greens, yellows, orangey reds, very peachy pinks and every shade of light brown from tan to palest beige. Their fair peaches and cream skintone glows with their best colours.Ī True Spring falls at the very warmest, most golden end of the wider Spring palette, and if you viewed the entire colour range of all four seasons as one big spectrum of colour, then True Spring’s colours would fall nearer to Autumn’s than to Winter’s or Summer’s. Golden Springs are often (although not exclusively) the ones who ‘look’ like they are going to be a Spring – strawberry blonde, bright red or golden yellow hair colour and clear blue, green or light brown eyes. This is perhaps the most ‘standard’ Spring palette – the colours are warm, bright and have a clear yellow undertone. This week, we’ll be looking at Spring colours. If you fall at one end of, say, the Summer palette, it doesn’t mean you can’t ever touch colours from other areas of the Summer palette you may have been given, just that this particular area is the strongest part of the palette for your personal skin tone and contrast level. The time has come, you’ll be pleased to hear, to clear up any confusion that may be lingering since your colour analysis.Įach week I’ll be looking at one season and discussing the different types within that season and how it might affect the kinds of colours you choose to wear.ĭo remember though, that your seasonal type is a guide. This process means that your analyst can more easily show you the very best palette of colours for you, but can also mean that you leave your analyses not entirely clear on what exactly you are. Most systems are now what is called ’12 season’, which means that you can be slotted into one of 12 ‘boxes’ by your analyst. However it is described, the fact is that the time of being simply one of four seasons is over. Under some systems, you may have received no season name at all, but simply have been classified as two descriptive words (cool and clear, for instance). Whether you’re pastel, clear, deep, soft, mellow, golden or dark, the chances are that you were given some other descriptive terms alongside your seasonal classification. When a client has a personal colour analysis, the time when they were given one of four designations – Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter – and sent on their way is long gone. When discussing each season I will try to use the most commonly understood terms of each type, but please do contact us if you feel we’ve missed out a term that would help colour analysis clients understand their season. This is the first of four blog posts, exploring the different ‘types’ of each season. ![]()
