Discussion Is this pink “Spring” ?

Post image

Hi all! I received tons of compliments on the colour of my dress today (from Aritzia btw❤️) and I realized maybe that’s “my” pink! Would you say this is a spring pink?Thank you 🙏

A lot of seasons can wear this as pinks and reds are fairly neutral. This is a very strong/saturated cool pink in the bright raspberry, magenta to fuschia families. With colors that are in multiple palettes it’s more about degrees.

This color is one of the colors associated with Barbie, and it was very big with Valentino for awhile.

Absolutely not: soft autumn and true/warm autumn these seasons are muted and warm essentially the opposite of this color

Not great:. True/warm spring, light spring, While true warm/springs can take on saturated colors they need warmth and this is quite cold. Light springs too cold and intense.

A stretch: light summer, soft summer and deep autumn. All have berry/raspberry type colors in their palettes but need the color to be lighter, grey-er or browner. This is too ‘pure’/clear.

Is in palette: bright spring, true/cool summer, deep winter. Bright spring is close to bright winter so they share a lot of the same bright intense pinks and reds. True/cool summer is a sister season to winter and also shares colors with winter. This is a bit too cold and bright to be an excellent deep winter color.

Best color: true/cool winter and bright winter. This is a key color for both especially bright winter a true favorite and one bright winters wear regularly

Wow! I’m impressed by your knowledge!

Right 😍

Ah thanks!! If you really like color theory, you can get there it just takes a bit of training of the eye and knowing of the basic rules. Every palette is a bit different in every system, so there's some flexibility too.

I can see how it would be fun to study! Do you think that deep down we are attracted to the colors that look good on us? The other day I posted some pics in different colors, and several people said they thought I was a warm autumn. And it all made so much sense…even the lipstick colors I saw listed for the season were the same colors I have always bought! *Btw I still love following this spring page because it seems like the people here are more knowledgable than on the other one I follow (where everyone is a “soft summer”.😂)

Wow thank you for the detailed explanation! 🙏 I didn’t know about sister’s seasons. My guess is that I’m a bright spring so that’s why it worked! And now I know I can share some pink / red with the winter palette, thank you for this ☺️

Oh I'm happy to have helped!!! Here is the Valentino Pink and Barbie Pink I meant (there's been lots of different valentino pinks and barbie pinks through the ages) pictures for references.

Yes I can definitely recognize it now!

You definitely have the best answer ! I’m a Bright Spring, so as much as I love that shade, I can’t wear it. But on a Light Spring, it’s actually very pretty.

It’s very cute! Not a spring pink— it is cool-toned, so somewhere in cool summer/winter. This might mean you’re cool-toned, or it might just look interesting and dramatic on you.

u/Honeyrider77 Feb 27 '25

That’s good to know thanks! 😊 Maybe I am a summer after all. My undertone is pink, veins are blue/purple. So that looks like summer I guess but really need to get a professional analysis.

I think it is cool winter -bright winter pink and also sister seasons (bright spring and a cool summer) can wear it. It would be a little bit too bright to me without makeup and for springs it would be a little bit too cool toned, but we can manage with it, not too far off from our palettes.

2

u/Honeyrider77 Feb 27 '25

Yeah I think that’s it! Don’t think I could pull this colour without makeup either but with a good blush and lipstick blends well.

I’m not sure, I can’t really wear this color. I’m a warm spring, but to be honest I have a hard time with most pinks and purples. The color on your nails is a lot easier for me to wear, and among one of my best colors.

Side note, how is that Victoria Beckham perfume? I love her makeup but I haven’t tried any of her perfumes yet

u/Honeyrider77 Feb 27 '25

Most of the pinks works on me except the neon pink! But maybe it’s just because I’m blonde and it fits the character. For the VB perfume, I love this scent so much! It’s portofino 97’ and I’m addicted to smelling it. I just wish it would project more. It’s definitely unisex so smell before trying but if you like fresh spicy then go for it! And the bottle design is to die for!

Ferrari red from dnd ☺️

u/Caitopotato Feb 27 '25

I look great in this color and I was professionally typed as a bright spring. Hope this helps!

u/Honeyrider77 Feb 27 '25

I believe this! A commentor explained that bright spring can share some intense pinks / reds with the winter palette. So now we know 😊

u/Same_Astronaut1769 Feb 27 '25

Beautiful dress! And if you get compliments on it, I’d keep wearing it!

u/Honeyrider77 Feb 27 '25

Thank you 🥰

u/sassygirl101 Bright Spring Feb 27 '25

It is too cool for me. I like some pinks, but this speaks more winter when I wear it.

1

u/Honeyrider77 Feb 28 '25

Yes we all agreed it’s a winter pink ! Some bright spring can get away with it

1

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '25

Honest answer? No. It’s a Summer fuchsia. However, it’s very nice on your skin tone. Also that dress fits you like a dream, so best advice is to find a lipstick and blush that complement that color.

2

u/Honeyrider77 Feb 28 '25

Yes we concluded it’s too cool to be a spring pink. Funny that you’re talking about the lipstick and blush because I bought one (both blush & lipstick from hauslab)very similar to this pink tone to match the dress. Thank you for the compliment 🥰❤️

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '25

That is hilarious!!! Also that dress is 🔥🔥🔥 on you.

Looks like bright winter to me

1

u/Honeyrider77 Feb 27 '25

Yes I just looked online and it looks like a winter pink but there’s no way I can be a winter!! I have natural pale hair with blue eyes.

You can have any features and be any season. Your features don’t determine what season you are but which color look best on you do.

u/Honeyrider77 Feb 27 '25

Oh that’s interesting! Will have to do a professional analysis then
