True Spring
Warmth in full color.
Golden yellow, leaf green and clear coral work well as an easy starting point. Warmth matters more than being the lightest or brightest person in the room.

A little color, used well
Makeup families
Coral, warm peach, tomato red are starting color directions. Coverage and natural lip pigment change how a cosmetic shade looks.
Hair color directions
Golden blonde, copper, warm chestnut can be useful swatch families to discuss with a colorist. A season label does not require changing your natural hair.
Colors to approach differently
Icy pink, bluish gray and opaque burgundy are cooler or heavier than this warm, clear collection. Use them in smaller areas or away from the face if you enjoy them.

Compare with True SpringQuestions about True Spring
What colors suit True Spring?
Start with Warm color, Medium-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 True 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 True 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 True Spring?
Possible starting families include golden blonde, copper, warm chestnut. 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 True 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.
