Color Palette Comparison
Light Spring vs True Spring
The Key Difference
Both are Spring seasons with warm undertones, but Light Spring works with light colors while True Spring suits medium colors. The key distinction lies in depth and intensity.
At a Glance
Light Spring
Light Spring is the lightest and most delicate of the warm seasons. With warm undertones and light, clear coloring, Light Springs have a fresh, youthful appearance that glows in soft, warm pastels.
True Spring
True Spring is the quintessential warm season—vibrant, clear, and golden. True Springs have medium contrast with distinctly warm coloring that comes alive in saturated, clear warm hues.

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.
True Spring
Distinctly Warm
Warmth is the defining quality of your coloring. Your skin, eyes, and hair all carry golden or peachy notes—cool colors simply don't resonate with your natural palette.
Clear & Bright
There's nothing muted about True Spring. Your colors need clarity and vibrancy—dusty or grayed tones will make you look tired rather than radiant.
Medium Contrast
You have enough contrast to wear bold colors, but not so much that you need the extremes of black and white. Your sweet spot is rich, saturated warmth.
