Bright Spring / Clear Spring Color Palette

Bright Spring — also called Clear Spring — is the most saturated of the warm seasons: bright coral, watermelon, tropical turquoise, lemon, clear kelly green and clear blue, with bright warm white and a crisp navy.

Bright Springs have clear, sparkling eyes and noticeable contrast. They border Bright Winter, so they can wear more intensity — and even a little black — than any other Spring.

Flattering shades

  • Golden brown
  • Warm dark brown
  • Bright copper
  • Golden blonde

Use with care

  • Ash brown
  • Mousy blonde

Bright spring hair color keeps contrast and warmth: golden blonde, bright copper, golden brown and — for the clear spring brunette — warm dark brown with golden lights. Ashy, smoky shades cancel the sparkle.

Wear with care

Bright Spring worst colors

  • Wear with care: Dusty rose
    Try instead: Coral Pink

    Muted colors make Bright Spring look tired; choose the clear version.

  • Wear with care: Khaki
    Try instead: Light Camel

    Muddy neutrals dull the face; light camel or navy are cleaner.

  • Wear with care: Mauve
    Try instead: Clear Violet

    Smoky purples look gray; clear violet stays bright.

  • Wear with care: Taupe
    Try instead: Warm Gray

    Gray-browns flatten contrast.
