Try a pale, middle and deep anchor from this collection. Keep the colors near your face in the warm-neutral direction and adjust contrast to what feels comfortable.
A little color, used well
Makeup families
Peach, apricot, light coral are starting color directions. Coverage and natural lip pigment change how a cosmetic shade looks.
Hair color directions
Honey blonde, strawberry blonde, light golden brown can be useful swatch families to discuss with a colorist. A season label does not require changing your natural hair.
Colors to approach differently
Very dark blocks and smoky gray can feel heavier than your lighter color combinations. Use them in smaller areas or away from the face if you enjoy them.

Compare with Light SpringQuestions about Light Spring
What colors suit Light Spring?
Start with Warm-neutral color, Light depth and a Clear finish. The original 72-color collection below shows how those qualities can translate into neutrals, accents and metal-inspired tones.
Can Light Spring wear black?
You can wear black. If it feels stark near your face, add a softer scarf, leave an open neckline or pair it with a palette neutral. Clothing is a choice, not a test you have to pass.
Is navy a Light Spring color?
Navy covers many different blues. A muted, green-shifted navy behaves differently from a very saturated blue-black. Use the color checker with the exact hex code, then compare the actual fabric in daylight.
What hair color works for Light Spring?
Possible starting families include honey blonde, strawberry blonde, light golden brown. Your natural depth is a useful reference, but dye, gray hair and lighting do not change what you are allowed to wear. Test a temporary swatch before a permanent color change.
How do I tell Light Spring from a neighboring season?
Change one quality at a time: warmth, depth or clarity. Keep the fabric size, finish and lighting similar. Compare whether the color is the first thing you notice, or whether your face feels equally defined.
