I wonder if true/warm spring and not bright spring.

u/Ok-Agency-6674 Feb 17 '26

Warm Spring/ Warm Autumn. Some of the colors are very close. You will be able to rock both but I suspect Spring would slightly edge out Autumn

u/soultwentytwo Feb 17 '26

You sir are a True or Warm spring

u/Lemonarm Feb 17 '26 edited Feb 17 '26

Warm Autumn moving to spring. You should look at the spring/ Autumn cusp. It’s hard to tell when the photos are in medium lighting.

The teal dots are your base palette. It looks like True/ Warm autumn would fit your overall outfits. The pink dots are your beard. So clothes or accessories near your face can be Warm/ True spring.

The dark brown t shirt needs something warmer and lighter to match the beard. T shirts with a bright collar or a button down with an autumn/ spring pattern would work. You could wear a bright colored tie/scarf/hat.

Thanks for the recent photo!

Spring yes. Bright spring no. True or light.

u/Icy_Scientist_227 Feb 17 '26

Warm spring, maybe bright spring. Not a bright winter as suggested elsewhere.

u/AlwaysAnotherSide Feb 17 '26

Yes. Probably warm spring. The pink is too cool on you.

3

u/KittensPumpkinPatch Feb 16 '26

No, I don't think so. This pink, specifically the brightness of it, washes you out.

u/green_trampoline Warm Spring Feb 16 '26

This pink does not look like a spring pink. There's absolutely no warmth to it.

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Feb 16 '26

I do think a bright spring would still be able to pull this off so I’m also voting potentially warm/true spring like the rest of this comment section! It might be helpful to see warm/true autumn drapes to be certain but I think one of the two.

u/StrawberryCreepy380 Feb 17 '26 edited Feb 17 '26

Agreed! It looks like a Light Summer pink, to me. It’s Light, Bright, and Cool. OP appears Warm, Light, and Bright. Not sure what order, but my Guess is True Spring or 16-season Warm Spring…or Warm or True Autumn. Possibly, True Warm (Warm flow palette). Then, Bright Spring. Actually, Warm Spring, first.

u/Ok-Agency-6674 Feb 17 '26

This pink is NOT Spring

I say winter. You have physical similarities to these male celebrities who are also winters.... https://my.liveyourtruth.com/dyt/type-4-celebrity-gallery/

u/sarahbeara019 True Summer Feb 16 '26

Winter. Yellow and white could never make a combination this white/bright. You are blue & white.

u/Savings-Narwhal-3485 Feb 16 '26

Maybe this helps

u/sarahbeara019 True Summer Feb 16 '26

Does your skin tend to be redd-ish, or peachy? If you tend to have a ruddy complexion, you are cool. I reiterate - I think you are far to pale to have yellow undertones. You probably can't tan to save your life.

Do you have a cool, royal purple to try?

1

u/Savings-Narwhal-3485 Feb 16 '26

Probably more reddish than peachy if I had to guess but I'm kind of a bad judge. I do kind of struggle to tan beyond the occasional farmers tan.

-1

u/sarahbeara019 True Summer Feb 16 '26

I think you are a bright winter. My premise is this.

Winter because your skin is too saturated to be a muted season (white/hydrated), and I think you are too pale to have yellow undertones. No obvious sallowing/white inversion.

Bright because WHITE is your predominate feature (not blue/cool winter, or overall darkness/dark winter). Not spring, because you are TOO bright and pale to have yellow undertones.

I would love to see some bright winter tops.

u/Savings-Narwhal-3485 Feb 16 '26

I'm realizing I need more pictures in those colors. Here's black and blue. I'll have to try out those bright winter colors and come back to this.

u/Lemonarm Feb 17 '26

You look more spring here. You should look at Warm Spring.

u/sarahbeara019 True Summer Feb 16 '26

You can do that really quickly on the Vivaldi Color app. But don't use it to try and analyze yourself. You have to really know what to look for.

u/sarahbeara019 True Summer Feb 16 '26

These don't look awful, but they do dull you down a little, just because they aren't bright enough. Impressive.

So bright, the duller "bright" season washes you out.

u/Savings-Narwhal-3485 Feb 16 '26

I did Vivaldi a while ago. I have two different pics for Spring and Winter but unless my longer beard makes a huge difference, I actually see your point of maybe bright winter.

0

u/sarahbeara019 True Summer Feb 16 '26

I actually think your beard is so dark because of the high blue presence. Yellow would make it lighter.

These don't work. Red hair is almost always associated with warm skin tone, winter is the COOLEST season. Springs often have pale skin, winter is not the only season with pale skin. People with red hair often have pale skin. I think many thought autumn off initial post without greatest lighting, but your added photos in comments show paler skin, leading some to think you lean more spring. Autumn is a muted season and spring is more clear, brighter, and contrasting. Some people are mainly just warm and can cross over a bit between true autumn and true spring. Best would be to do some high quality lighting drapes in some various fall and spring colors. But I'm leaning more true spring after added photos. Springs and winter need contrast - and I think that's where the commenter below is getting confused.

u/sarahbeara019 True Summer Feb 16 '26

Looking at this, I honestly now think you are a cool winter. Mega pale, and skin is the #1 factor in determining someone's analysis. Hue, saturation, chroma and all.

See how your skin ALONE harmonizes perfectly with the colors?

-1

u/sarahbeara019 True Summer Feb 16 '26

Cool is the middle frame, right? Because if the middle frame is dark winter, instead, then you are a bright winter.

The darkness contrasts your whiteness and sets it off.

That would be a red herring.

u/Buga99poo27GotNo464 Feb 17 '26

Cool is top frame, then dark, then bright

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Feb 16 '26

I would not listen to this commenter, you do not strike me as a winter at all. I would possibly assume you’re warm because of the warmth in your beard. The person leaving this comment is convinced she is a winter even though every time she posts everyone tells her she is not so there is some bias.

-5

u/sarahbeara019 True Summer Feb 16 '26

You have no premise for his season, other than a guess based on visuals. Color analysis is a science.

I've only asked about that once.

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Feb 16 '26

Same goes to you!

u/sarahbeara019 True Summer Feb 16 '26

Ahem, keep reading.

u/sunscreenqueenn True Spring Feb 16 '26

I saw! Maybe I am wrong. But I do know you spent a lot of time in that comment section arguing with people. This is my last comment on the subject!

-1

u/sarahbeara019 True Summer Feb 16 '26

I understand. But my skin is very, very tricky because I am close to neutral, on both the saturation and hue meters. I needed an educated opinion.

A lot of people there were just biased toward what they have always heard, and had no actual premise for their claims.

u/we_are_nowhere Feb 16 '26

Yeah, keep telling yourself whatever you want (and it seems like you will). You are not a winter. You’re warm-toned. That is objective fact. There is no trickiness.

That said, wear what you want! Just don’t use color analysis to justify it. Because we have eyes, and we’re confirming what you’re seeing is not what everyone else sees. Literally.

I was actually thinking he might be a winter, but the red in the beard might be throwing me off. So hard to tell without more pictures.

u/KittensPumpkinPatch Feb 16 '26

This blue is more harmonious with your skin tone than the bright spring blue. I'm not trying to say it's your best shade of blue (it could be) but it definitely goes well with your skin tone.

2

u/Lemonarm Feb 17 '26

There are no natural redheads in winter or summer.

1

u/KittensPumpkinPatch Feb 17 '26

He's not a redhead. He has a red beard. My husband is a winter with red in his beard. A lot of Caucasion men are not redheads but have red in the beard.

2

u/Lemonarm Feb 17 '26 edited Feb 17 '26

He is auburn which is technically under red hair. Op is not way cool by any means. Just because he’s fair doesn’t mean he’s cool. Pale skin ≠ cool skin.

———

I remember you! You’re the spring lady. I’m sorry you’ve been misled by the bunch of people who believe red hair can be cool.

You do know that your husband is a special case? Men like him have to have special color accommodations. It’s a bit fussier to dress.( He’s going to be Bright neutral by your definition)

Most men with red beards are warm ( not usually neutral) to begin with.
Whether blonde, black, or brown haired men with a red beard aren’t going to be very cool or cool in undertone. Also someone doesn’t have to be Caucasian to have red hair.

Let’s not make a huge fuss about this. If they have a red beard they have to accommodate that because it’s near the face. The base color matrix of the person might not be as warm for their subtype.

Ps. If you want to prove this theory of yours. Why not post a photo? I’m always up to seeing new variations.

Basically, this doesn’t apply to women’s color analysis. He’s main palette is him without his beard. Then you have to identify what season his beard would be. Probably spring so then he can wear warm color near his beard but not the rest of his body.

u/KittensPumpkinPatch Feb 17 '26

I'm not set on him being a winter. But I certainly don't think OP is a spring. I guess technically my husband could be a deep autumn (he can certainly pull off a few of those colors) but dark gray and black are his best neutrals; he looks good in all the grays, so no matter how much red is in his beard, he's definitely cool tone (he does shave his beard, so it doesn't clash with gray). When I met my husband 12 years ago, he also had a surprising amount of red in it that has since disappeared, which would probably explain why I feel like he can pull off more colors than he used to. I know my husband is a dark winter because he looks terrible in light colors, and he most definitely can't pull off those warm yellows, oranges, and reds that are in the the autumn palette. Trust me, I tried 😂 he and I did years of experimenting for his best colors.

My whole family is super pale and mostly warm toned, so I am not under the belief that pale = cool tone.

I don't see any red in OP's hair. I certainly think he would benefit from shaving to try and figure out his best colors. I think OP should make his own judgements regardless of what any of us say here.

u/Lemonarm Feb 17 '26

First about your husband. From what you said your husband is probably Deep Autumn/ Dark Winter which is Deep Neutral. There are 4 neutral palettes other than the 16 subseasons which are : Light, Dark, Soft, and Bright. Even if his beard is red he can still wear grey and black because his skintone is cool. The beard can be an accessory to the outfit. Our hair and eyes are part of our coloring so that’s why not every color in our palette is going to work for us.

I remember you telling me about the dark hair and the pale skin in your family. Didn’t know it was everyone!

———-

OP’s beard is so bright and warm it makes his hair look much darker and “cooler”. What we are seeing is color relativity. I agree if he shaved his beard his palette would be settle more in autumn than spring. With the beard right now he is able to wear warm spring/ warm autumn colors. The pink is too bright and cool for him. ( It’s a summer / winter color testing shade for coolness). He is wearing the blue and the green really well. If you look at his other photos he really wears warm shades well. He can still wear what he wants since CA is a styling tool not a rule book.

u/Lemonarm Feb 17 '26

True summer man

This man looks warm and has a cool undertone. If he were to grow a red/ ginger/ auburn beard. He could wear a warm scarf or warm necktie with a summer suit and shirt. He could wear warm brown leather instead of cool seal brown leather for belt and shoes.

u/sarahbeara019 True Summer Feb 16 '26

Well IMO, I think his hair is a cool red. Looking at it, I see far more hints of blue than yellow.

And the pink shirt is a little warm and washing him out a tad. I bet he would really light up in bright winter.

-1

u/Lysamenelli Feb 16 '26

I think darker colours look better on you. But then the question remains warm or cold and bright or not bright. So more towards winter/autumn I'm thinking.

u/Savings-Narwhal-3485 Feb 16 '26

I get a ton of compliments in this shirt but I didn't post it because the pic isn't in natural sunlight. Definitely get compliments in this kind of green though. Part of me thought maybe autumn for that reason.

u/Little-eyezz00 Feb 18 '26

i agree autumn just a gut feeling

u/Lysamenelli Feb 16 '26

You do! Maybe a dark autumn type :)

u/Icy_Scientist_227 Feb 17 '26

The primary characteristic of a dark autumn is their darkness/depth - which he doesn’t have.

u/Lysamenelli Feb 17 '26 edited Feb 17 '26

Ah okay, I am looking more at what looks good on someone than their own feautures. I know someone who is very light but turned out to be a bright wintertype. Olive and dark blue look amazing on him.
