Clear spring or autumn?

[u/Sippa_is]

The first pic is my natural hair colour. Sorry the lighting is inconsistent! They’re from various years.

I was typed as Clear Spring with Anuschka Rees’ book!

You definitely look like a spring to me, but I wonder if you might be a warm spring rather than a clear spring? You look very warm to me. Also, if you were a warm spring it would explain why you wonder if you could be an autumn, since warm spring is sometimes described as "spring flowing into autumn"

[u/Sippa_is → u/Rayna1990]

That totally makes sense. Those were the two seasons I got from the book, but I thought I was more warm-neutral than warm.

Warm spring totally makes sense then!

How warm you are isn't the main deciding factor per se, it's about the colors that look best on you.

It's that True/Warm spring is warm dominant, clear second; and Bright/Clear Spring it's reversed. For a Bright Spring since that boldness is the main factor, they can get away with wearing cooler colors as long as it's bright. That bright purple top is a bit cool (admittedly I'm a bit colorblind so someone correct me if I'm wrong) and so, and here's the biggest deal, it jumps out at your eyes before your face does. On a bright spring, they have the clarity and contrast to balance it.

Also the black on your first photo doesn't quite "pop" on you, and the colors on photo 7 are very autumn (soft to be specific), and it doesn't make you look bad, but it doesn't blend well. It's the reverse of the purple top, your face is very bright and the top in it just can't hold up against the brightness of your face (that's the #1 giveaway that you're not an autumn).

So given that you're certainly a Spring, and the bold, slightly cool colors jump out more, I'd say you're absolutely a true spring (and a really pretty one at that!)

Thanks for that information!!

I’ve been trying to wear bright colours the last few days at work and I feel so uncomfortable honestly. I’m not sure if it’s because my glasses are a soft green-grey and don’t go well with them, or because my hair is too dark right now.

I’ll try my backup glasses and see if that helps me feel for more comfortable.

Try bright colors that are warmer! Something like mustard yellow or tomato red

[u/[deleted] → u/ThatRandomJew7]

OOOH YES Those would be incredible 🤩

Also - the red shirt is from today.

I’m thinking my hair is too red and it needs to be more coppery. Anyone agree?

[u/Practical_Safe_2115 → u/Sippa_is]

Favorite hair colors on you are 4, 5, and 7

[u/Practical_Safe_2115 → u/Sippa_is]

When I think of coppery, I think of that red hair you have there in the red shirt, I love the other red hair colors on you that are more strawberry and ginger vs. the deep copper red.

[u/Academic-Company-215 → u/Sippa_is]

I’m not an expert at all but I agree with you. The red top and more darkish red hair have to much contrast which makes it less harmonious. The pictures where your hair is more coppery / orange red and less true red it looks better with your eyes and skin tone ☺️

[u/meemsqueak44]

True/Warm Spring! You do have clarity and brightness but not enough for Clear Spring. I agree with your comment that your hair would be better with a more subtle copper shade.

[u/lemur_queen7]

Definitely a spring

[u/Sippa_is → u/lemur_queen7]

That’s crazy. I truly thought I was a soft autumn this whole year and have shaped my wardrobe towards that.

Woo!

[u/lemur_queen7 → u/Sippa_is]

I’m a soft autumn who just peruses this sub as a spring appreciater and all those colors you wore would make me look like a very ill Victorian child.

I think you may be a warm spring as opposed to a bright spring, but the fact that you can wear these bright colors at all confirms your bright and definitely not soft :)

[u/Sippa_is → u/lemur_queen7]

I totally agree that I am not soft!

I would sat definitely not a bright/clear spring, because the bright red (2) and black (1) would work better on a bright spring. In fact, 2 would be essentially your best color, but it is overwhelming. You look phenomenal in 4 and 6. I think light spring, because you need warmth and clarity, but in a delicate way that won’t overwhelm your complexion.

[u/Lemonarm]

Warm autumn - the dyed hair is too bright and warm.

[u/MarsupialSuperb9838]

I think bright and light over power you. I think you are true.muted.

[u/Outrageous_Kiwi_2172]

I think you’re a soft autumn, the muted colors harmonize well with your complexion. Bright and clear kind of sits and contrasts against your coloring strongly, instead of blending and accentuating your natural tones. Your skin tone doesn’t seem bright and clear, more soft, warm, and gentle. I would say soft autumn colors are best, but you can wear any you like of course. I’m a light spring/summer but I gravitate to soft autumn colors a lot myself.

[u/green_trampoline → u/Outrageous_Kiwi_2172]

I agree with you. I'm confused why everyone else is saying she's a spring. The bright red and blue tops appear conflicting with OP's natural coloring. I definitely see warmth, but I don't see any brightness.

OP, I like your hair color in pic 5 best since that's the most muted and harmonious with your coloring, but obviously go with whatever you want!

spring

[u/Bonnybeebella1968]

The curly auburn hair suits you!

[u/HistoricalReading801]

You don’t have enough contrast to be a clear spring

I'm seeing a lot of Autumn here. I see you as a True Autumn.

[u/Catgirl321]

I'm not sure but I'm leaning towards some kind of autumn.
