Light Spring Color Palette
Delicate and warm — fresh pastels with a sunny lift.
Light Spring is the bridge between Light Summer and Warm Spring, where lightness is the headline and warmth refines it. Your colouring is delicate and luminous: fair, warm-tinged skin, light golden or strawberry-blonde hair, and clear light eyes. Your colours are warm pastels and light brights — fresh, airy and never heavy.
- Temperature: Warm-neutral
- Depth: Light
- Clarity: Medium
