Warm Spring Color Palette

Sun-warmed and golden — fresh colour with a honeyed glow.

Warm Spring — also called True Spring — is the warmest of the Spring family. Everything about your colouring is golden: peachy or golden skin, warm hair with honey or red lights, and eyes in warm green, topaz or golden brown. Your colours are clear and warm, like a flower garden in full sun. Cool or smoky shades grey you out.

Yellow gold is unmistakably your metal, with rose gold a close second. Silver tends to look cold and flat against warm, golden skin.

Warm Spring FAQs

Is Warm Spring the same as True Spring?

Yes. Warm Spring and True Spring refer to the same season — the purest, warmest member of the Spring family, where warmth is the dominant characteristic rather than lightness or brightness.

What colours should Warm Springs avoid?

Cool, blue-based shades like icy pastels, cool grey, slate and pure black. They fight the golden undertone and make warm skin look sallow.

Can Warm Springs wear pink?

Yes, but warm pinks — coral, salmon and peachy rose — rather than cool blue-pinks or fuchsia. The pink should look like it has sunlight in it.
