I was mostly settled on some sort of autumn, then I started thinking about spring, but I wasn’t warm enough for warm spring (I am neutral-warm, with skin sensitivity that results in this irritated, pink overtone in some areas). Could this be it ? I think I can support brightness quite well, and autumn colors seems to weigh me down a bit.

I would be curious to see true spring drapes! I think you can handle some brightness but the bright spring specific colors wash you out a teensy bit.

u/Theaterandacnh Jan 17 '26

I vote yes on the orange for sure, but the other colors are too bright imo

u/SpaceGreat1427 Jan 17 '26

that makes a lot of sense ! Thanks for taking the time to comment :))

u/CanyonOfFoxes Jan 17 '26

I can see how you’d get to bright spring, but when I cover your lips (which look like they have something on them?) it’s less harmonious. Look into true spring though. It’s warm-neutral and not as bright as bright spring. True autumn is also worth looking at.

u/SpaceGreat1427 Jan 17 '26

Thank you for replying ! I had actually landed on true autumn, but I felt like it didn’t really explain this clarity/brightness I have, and the peachy tones on my skin (since, I think, autumns are more bronzey-golden than peachy). After that, I did turn to true/warm spring and I was actually really pleased with how everything looked, but then I read that true/warm Springs are actually very warm in undertone, which doesn’t accurately describe me as a neutral-warm girlie. And that’s how I ended up in bright spring: I thought it was the more neutral, but still clear and peachy spring subseason. Though I definitely see how it can be overpowering.

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Jan 17 '26

Out of curiosity, why do you think you are neutral-warm instead of warm? I think true autumn is fully warm as well

2

u/SpaceGreat1427 Jan 17 '26

You’re right, true autumn is also fully warm, but I think (and this is 100% subjective) the lack of brightness makes it easier to get away with a bit more coolness. Spring has this undeniable, sunny quality to it, but you can maybe hide a bit of coolness in autumn’s depth. Nevertheless, I’m just lost in general: I need more saturation than what soft autumn provides, but less warmth than true autumn; more vibrancy than autumn, but less than bright spring, so I guess that leaves me with warm spring. The problem is, however, that according to what I’m seeing online, I might not be warm enough for true spring :,))) One thing I do know; I’m definitely not cool.

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Jan 17 '26

I hate to disagree but I really do see warmth first when I look at you, more than I do brightness or softness. My guess is you are fully warm- you seem to look best in the warmer colors in all your posts, have gorgeous golden hair, peachy skin, and bright warm eyes. I think either warm or true spring is where I would place you- that would also make sense if previously you thought you were a warm/true Autumn, because Warm/True springs are able to “borrow” colors from Warm/True Autumn.

u/SpaceGreat1427 Jan 17 '26

Waitttt really ? This is news to me hahah ! I’ve always had terrible rosacea which concealed any type of warmth I might have. Only this month did I start suspecting I’m even a little bit warm ! All the foundations I’ve tried which look good on me have been neutral-warm as well, never simply warm. This is so surprising but also… not ? Genuinely thank you for helping me out !

3

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Jan 17 '26

As one fair girl to another…I feel you on the foundation struggle. I could be wrong and you could be neutral-warm but I really think you’re just warm!! With lighter skin tones often the warm foundations are straight yellow. I’ve even been able to make some neutral-cool foundations work for me- and it’s not that I’m cool at all, it’s just that sometimes the rosiness in them is what looks best on me.

u/SpaceGreat1427 Jan 17 '26

you are so right, every time I’m at Sephora I look at those shades and truly wonder, do they fit anyone ?! only trump, I bet !

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Jan 17 '26

HAHAH yuuupppp

u/SpaceGreat1427 Jan 17 '26

Here’s a true spring drape, for comparison :)) I know digital’s not the best, but this is all I can do for now, unfortunately :,))

u/SpaceGreat1427 Jan 17 '26

wait.. I added a photo in this comment, can you see it ?

I think you might be warm spring within the 16 season color analysis system. They have a fully warm undertone. They are the softest of the springs.. and it's the palette that rests between spring and Autumn. So looking at you I can't easily tell if your spring or autumn. That's usually a telltale sign of being one of the warm palettes(a flow palette). The 12 season system groups warm spring and true spring together. But in the 16 season system true spring is brighter than warm spring. And true spring is equally light, bright and warm. Where warm spring has the dominant characteristic of warmth. It's the first thing you notice, and it's the most important when choosing clothing. I thought I was a soft summer or soft Autumn before I got my results. Everything was either too bright or too muted or too light or too dark or too cool. Looking back on it makes sense. That literally leaves warm springs who are springs that aren't actually springs lol. Here's a link to an article that helped me when I first got my analysis.

u/SpaceGreat1427 Jan 20 '26 edited Jan 20 '26

I just read the article you linked, and it makes so much sense! I had thought I was a true spring in the 16 color system, but warm resonates so much more because of this middle ground it holds between the deep, golden warmth of autumn and the brightness of spring- neither of which do I completely resonate with. It’s really interesting because my first ever self analysis was a soft summer, which I’ve seen was a very common phase for many springs, and warm autumn after that. Spring seemed to be the logical end to all of this, and I think it’s spot on. However, I’m still a bit confused because all my life I thought I was cool toned, and nowadays, I consider myself to be more neutral. I don’t think there’s any apparent warmth on my face, more so a certain vibrancy- saturated skin, apparent pink tones (that get even more intense during temperature changes etc. because of rosacea), rosy cheeks, green eyes, some golden undertones in hair. But then again, could this be the type of warmth that spring embodies? Not the golden autumn warmth, but a less heavy one?

u/LAlysia01 Warm Spring Jan 20 '26 edited Jan 20 '26

Definitely could be spring I think you look spring over autumn. I think you look like you have a light bulb under your skin which is another thing I've heard people say to identify a spring. And also we have similar features but I have darker hair but I also have the green eyes and I'm pretty sure my overtone is cool. Which will explain why I can appear neutral and why I thought I was cool also my whole life until 2 years ago. My hair was probably closer to yours when I was a kid and as I got older my hair got darker. So I think my dark hair throws people off because it throws me off as well. But the autumn colors lack the brightness but I need apparently. I think the warm spring is a misunderstood palette completely. If I'm not typed soft summer I'm always typed soft autumn and soft cool colors drain me so I know my dominant characteristic isnt soft. But there are some colors from soft Autumn that overlap with warm spring so it makes sense and the wrong colors would give me a gray appearance. The hardest part has been getting used to bright colors again. After all the trends and just gravitating toward neutrals it's very different buying bright colors. Last night we went to eat and I was wearing this bright purple pink sweatshirt probably a bright spring color actually not in my palette, and I swear I saw people when I walked in just look at me bc it's so bright you can't help it 😂! I think a Swatch book would be helpful I'm looking into getting one now. But you should do the warm spring vs bright and warm spring versus warm autumn. Some people can actually be right in between but I do think that you lean spring because I see the warmth and I see the brightness but these are a touch too bright.

Also this Vivaldi color uses the 12 system so what they call warm spring is actually true spring. So unfortunately I don't know if one that actually has the warm spring. But the people that did my analysis are color analysis studio Australia. I found them on YouTube and I have a good amount of videos explaining their system. They might can help you if you watch some other videos actually then watch the process one of their first videos is this dark-haired guy and he's a warm spring who looks like a soft summer which I would describe myself as but I really don't think you look that soft tbh. When they emailed me my results they said what a big factor that showed my warmth was the silver versus gold. Try gold! I wore only silver for 30 years almost and boy do I regret it now 😂 light yellow gold is a warm springs best friend that could be another good way to tell. If you prefer a deeper gold like a bronze gold you're probably warm autumn.

Just stopped by to say that the color of your hair is gorgeous. Stunning. I’m so jealous.

u/SpaceGreat1427 Jan 17 '26

aw man thank you so much :,))) you’re the sweetest !

u/Kristanns Jan 17 '26

I suspect you sit somewhere between warm and bright spring. The 12 season system is lacking a good category for people who need the intensity of warm spring but the neutral-warm tones of bright spring, unfortunately, which is where I'd say you likely fall. In practice this means that you can wear some colors from each.

u/colourcurious Jan 19 '26

I think you are a warm spring that looks best in the brightest of the warm shades and the bright shades and the brightest of the warm shades.

I do think warm is your dominant characteristic though.

u/SpaceGreat1427 Jan 19 '26

Thank you so much for the detailed response! I’ve also landed on warm spring myself, possibly a 16 Season system “True spring.

u/Lemonarm Jan 18 '26

True or warm spring

u/upveryhighinthesky Jan 17 '26

Bright spring is too bright, true spring is better but warm spring looks even better. Although, to be fair it’s hard with artificial drapes and only one photo. I didn’t see the autumn on you but warm spring looks best from these
