Common Questions

What is a Spring color palette?

Spring covers three subseasons — Light, True, and Bright — that share a warm, golden undertone but differ in depth and chroma. Light Spring is the palest and softest, True Spring sits in the middle with the purest warmth, and Bright Spring pushes into high-saturation, almost Winter-level vividness while staying warm.

How do I know which Spring subseason I am?

Check depth first: if your hair and skin are both light, you're likely Light Spring. If your coloring reads warm above all else — golden skin, warm brown hair — you're probably True Spring. If muted colors make you look flat but you're clearly warm-toned, that's the signature of Bright Spring. AI draping is more reliable than eyeballing a chart because sister seasons look nearly identical in photos.

Can a Spring wear black?

Black isn't in any Spring palette — it's too cool and too heavy for a warm, light-to-medium season and tends to overpower the face. Warm charcoal, chocolate brown, or navy do the same job (grounding an outfit) without the drain. Bright Spring can get away with black closer to the face if it's broken up with a warm accent color.

What's the difference between True Spring and Bright Spring?

Both are warm, but True Spring is defined by undertone purity — it's the most unmistakably golden of the three. Bright Spring is defined by contrast and saturation instead; it can wear more intense, high-chroma color than True Spring without looking costume-y, because its coloring has more built-in contrast to match.
