Warm Spring / True Spring Color Palette

Warm Spring, also called True Spring, is the warmest Spring and the sunniest palette of all: coral, poppy, tangerine, golden yellow, apple and kelly green and warm turquoise, with golden beige and camel as neutrals.

If your coloring is golden through and through — warm skin, golden or copper hair, warm bright eyes — and clear colors look better on you than muted ones, this is your season.

Wear with care

Colors Warm Spring should wear with care

  • Wear with care: Cool gray
    Try instead: Golden Beige

    Cool grays look flat; golden beige or camel are warm neutrals.

  • Wear with care: Magenta
    Try instead: Warm Pink

    Blue-based pinks clash with golden coloring.

  • Wear with care: Black
    Try instead: Warm Navy

    Black looks harsh; warm navy or cocoa are better dark neutrals.

  • Wear with care: Dusty mauve
    Try instead: Warm Periwinkle

    Muted cool purples dull the face; a warm periwinkle stays clear.
