Understanding the Characteristics
Light Spring
Warm Undertones
Your coloring carries a subtle golden or peachy warmth—never pink or blue-based. This warmth is gentle rather than intense, giving you a sun-kissed quality even without a tan.
Light Value
There's a luminous, airy quality to your overall appearance. Your best colors share this lightness—think morning sunlight rather than midday intensity.
Delicate Contrast
The difference between your hair, skin, and eyes is soft rather than dramatic. Heavy, dark colors can overwhelm your natural harmony.
Light Summer
Cool Undertones
There's a subtle rose or blue quality to your coloring—a coolness that makes warm, golden tones feel discordant against your skin.
Ethereal Lightness
Your coloring has a soft-focus, almost dreamlike quality. Heavy or saturated colors overwhelm this delicate balance.
Gentle Contrast
Your features blend harmoniously rather than contrasting sharply. Your palette should echo this softness—no harsh lines or bold statements.
