Light Spring Color Palette
Light Spring is the lightest and most delicate of the warm seasons: peach, light coral, buttercream, mint, light aqua and warm periwinkle, on a base of warm ivory and light camel.
Light Springs have light, warm coloring — often golden blonde hair and light eyes — and look best in colors that are light but still clear. Its sister season, Light Summer, shares the lightness but not the warmth.
