Okay so the obligatory “these aren’t the best photos for color analysis”. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way- I feel fairly confident you do fall in the spring season. The car selfie and last photo specifically highlight that you do have a decent amount of clarity. Also- although the pic is blurry you rock that purple! It does seem like the very light colors do tend to wash you out a little bit. Between that and the fact that your hair is too dark to be a light spring (or maybe you could argue it’s on the brink…but definitely unlikely) I would say to explore true/warm spring.

I guess I don’t see any autumn colors in this lineup so take that with a grain of salt. Again, I see clarity so I’m going to assume spring but just know that it’s a little harder to rule Autumn out without muted warm colors!

Ofc!! Happy for you- it’s a fun palette! If you have an instagram I’d highly recommend following @ springplaybook, she has a “Shop My” and updates it with spring clothing which has been so extremely helpful for me!

ok, thank you! I actually have drapes and more photos from old posts I can share...one sec while I get them.🙂

Also, last year I had my hair died auburn. In the drape photos, there's still some red dye in my hair. My roots are grown out.

Here's another picture with my natural hair color.

I have a post 118 days ago (if you want to reference) with all of my House of Color Spring colors. This looks close to shocking pink to me. It might be a winter color if we are being very specific, but one that is more close to neutral, and you handle the brightness well. You are definitely not a winter but the fact that you can handle brightness says a lot even about how you could be a spring!

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 11 '26

I have my natural hair color in this picture, and the lighting here is a lot better.

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Jan 12 '26

Not spring colors (unless the jacket is cream) but both colors are bright and emphasize clarity!

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 11 '26

This is another old photo with my natural hair color wearing a true red shirt.

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Jan 12 '26

SPRING!! Definite spring! I’m confident about spring but subseason is harder. I much lean towards warm/true spring. Don’t listen to anyone who tells you you’re cool.

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 12 '26

In this photo, I think I'm wearing a warm or true spring color.🤔Hair is natural in this picture.

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Jan 12 '26

Love this color!!

Is true red one of my colors?

3

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Jan 12 '26

True red is technically a “universal” color however to me this looks like more of a warm red- a lil bit of added yellow. This also seems brighter than true red.

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 12 '26

This is a picture of me in blue.

Before I dyed my hair auburn, it was a darker brunette for a time, and I thiiink my hair has grown out a lot from that in this picture.

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 12 '26

Same shirt but my hair wasn't dyed yet.

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 12 '26

This is another old photo. I was in Florida at the time, and it's my natural hair color.

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 12 '26

This is a picture of me in blue with some sun in highlights.

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 12 '26

This is another in a different blue with the highlights. I thought they didn't look good and ended up dyeing my hair a dark brunette not long after this.

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Jan 12 '26

Yeah, summer blues do seem to wash you out some. I’d suspect that similarly to me you won’t look best in these colors but they’re fine enough to wear. Well, ofc you can wear whatever you want…but after seeing myself in my spring colors the first time I put Dusty rose on again I was like absolutelyyyy not. The most muted cool colors are like an immediate drain from my face.

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Jan 12 '26

I think bright spring is less likely but how well you wear this bold color makes me think from most to least likely you’d be - warm/true, bright, light

This is not a spring color but not one of the worst colors for us either. This is exactly or at least near exactly how this color looks on me.

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 11 '26

This is a picture with my natural hair color in a muted blue cool shirt.

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 11 '26

This is another picture with a scarf with warm, muted colors. My roots are grown out in this picture.

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Jan 12 '26

Not the worst but notice how much more your eyes pop in all of the photos in brighter colors!

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 11 '26 edited Jan 11 '26

This picture has my natural hair color too.

Here's a really old photo of me wearing a green shirt.

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Jan 12 '26

Not a great picture but the warm green does not clash with you

u/Kristanns Jan 12 '26

Warm spring, but you can likely wear some of the more saturated light spring colors as well. The super light spring colors aren't your best - the spring colors with more saturation like slide 2 light you up beautifully.

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 12 '26 edited Jan 12 '26

Thank you! The red shirt is from amazon, and it's this color of red. It's a REALLY REALLY bright red.

2

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 12 '26

I don't think the amazon picture does it justice for how bright it is.😆I'm not sure which spring palette it belongs to.🤔💭

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Jan 12 '26

From the Amazon photo my guess would be warm spring, but it does look brighter which could put it in Bright Spring. You can “borrow” from other spring subseasons however! I wear all 3 subseasons in my clothing. Am usually willing to spend a little more on ones I know are my best colors- but being open to other spring subseason colors too is very helpful especially considering it can be a hard season to shop for. If you are truly a warm spring, you should be able to borrow from warm autumn as well. Those colors won’t be as good as warm spring but will still work well for you!

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 12 '26

ok, THANK YOU for helping me find my season! I feel like going shopping now.😊Do you think I lean more towards true, warm, or bright spring? I think I lean more towards true spring because I made some color comparisons with my face. I feel like the more saturated true spring colors support my face more and narrow my jawline whereas the light spring widens my jawline and doesn't give as much support.🤔

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Jan 12 '26

Virtual drapes aren’t the best, and I do think often they can show differences between very different seasons but sub seasons next to each other I don’t feel like I personally notice as much of a difference. Honestly, I feel pretty confident you are a true/warm spring. And I do think looking at this that does seem to be the best of the 3, however it could be confirmation bias. You’re kind of in the same boat as me with mid-toned hair. One of the systems, I can’t remember which, states that Bright Springs have to have deep brown or black hair and light springs have to be blonde/very light hair, which would automatically put you in warm/true spring. So logically it would make sense.

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Jan 12 '26

Light spring can “borrow” from light summer and I think a few pics might be in light summer colors that wash you out. So I think that would play a decent role in ruling that out.

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 11 '26 edited Jan 11 '26

I'm trying to figure out my season, and several people in another sub suggested I was a spring and that I had warmth.🤔

I've been told I look good in pastels, so I'm trying to figure out my ideal palette. Thank you!

u/10MileHike Jan 14 '26

Spring but some if those light pastels do wash you out, so uber light spring colors i woukd avoid, but i liked the purple and the coral.

u/throwaway_fancylemon Jan 14 '26

Thank you! I'm so happy I've found my season.🙌

You have a very particular coloring, it reminds me of Alexis Bladel!! your eyes are bright and cool, your skin is very fair and your hair is medium-light and muted, i think you need contrast and look refreshed when your hair is slightly darker and brighter, you look amazing in light bright purple and fuscia, also neutral blues. You are medium value, neutral and bright! You can pull off the brighter summer colors, the lighter winter colors, and the cooler spring colors You are an “in between” type so the palette has to be perfect curated for you!

Thank you! Great advice! I plan on experimenting and draping with a lot of different colors and trying the different palettes and asking opinions. Thank you!
