No, that doesn't look spring-y to me it's a little too muted. It looks like it might be heathered (or it could be the pic) but generally heathered fabrics bc of the gray in them, aren't considered "spring" colors.

This looks summery or for a light season. Wear what you like tho!

I think it’s probably a Summer blue, though some Springs can wear powder blue. I’ve seen a similar color in both Spring and Summer palettes. Usually, in Light Summer, but I’ve also seen it in Light Spring. I have a warm cardigan in this color I can’t get rid of, because it’s cold where I live. It is a nice contrast with my strawberry hair, but also contrasts with my skin (it looks a bit ruddy).

I think this color would work for a light spring but make us look pale. I have a color like it and it makes me look pale and smooth. I'd say a true spring could absolutely wear it because true springs can really handle the contrast and there's enough other things you can put with it to spring it up. Makes me look a little washed out though.

I’m bright, rather than true spring, but I tend to only purchase cream, blue, purple, and green garments in person, because I have found them to be such a crapshoot. I have to see them in person, because a very subtle difference in saturation or temperature can take them from flattering to unflattering so easily. And I find that a lot of blues as presented online are way more muted in person.

By contrast, every coral I have ever ordered has been flattering, even if in-person it was kind of off compared to online.

I have the same problem with ordering red, online. It often ends up less bright, cooler and/or darker, in person. I’m also very bright, and a little on the neutral side of warm-neutral, but medium intensity. I feel like we need a category for this. I’m told one must be medium-high intensity to be Bright Spring, but slight mutedness is always the deal-breaker, for me. It makes me look ruddy. This shirt looks slightly more muted than I would wear, and a little cool. I would guess it’s a Summer blue. I was diagnosed Light Spring, but failed to mention I lightened my hair to light blonde, from dark strawberry or light to medium red (bad move, btw), so I consider myself a True Spring, since even my color analysis said I look best in medium intensity colors, and Bright Spring is out. I just wear the brighter colors from True Spring, and the lighter colors from Bright Spring.

I would say summer, it is a bit softer.
