True Spring

True Spring colors to avoid

A color outside the palette is a styling problem you can solve, not something forbidden. Change where it sits or how much you use.

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 practical rule

Keep a difficult shade away from the face, soften it with a neckline or pair it with a familiar neutral. Preference still comes first.

For this palette, begin with moderate contrast and adjust the size of the accent.

Try it with what you own

Choose one item from your wardrobe or makeup kit. Compare it with a chip, then look at the actual item in neutral daylight. Keep notes about combinations you enjoy.
