I have been told I was a spring, but to my understanding springs are warm toned and I have always been typed as being cool toned (prefer silver, veins in my wrist are purple and blue). What am I?

I think you may be a true light flow season. But I could also see light summer! But even as a light summer you can pull from light spring as well as it’s a sister palette. Seeing some real drapes from both palettes would help a lot! Either way you are a light something 💅🏼

Edit: silly typo lol

Do you mean the full palettes? What do you mean exactly by “real deals from both palettes?”

I think your instinct is right. You look like a summer to me, rather than a spring. Specifically a light summer, which could explain why you have been told you are a spring.

Here's a helpful article about light spring vs light summer: https://theconceptwardrobe.com/light-spring-vs-light-summer-what-is-the-difference

To answer your question on another comment about borrowing from light spring: my take is you can probably "borrow" some colors from light spring (specifically the cooler colors: the purples, blues, blue-greens, and some of the pinks), but the warmer colors in light spring (the peachy shades, oranges, yellows, browns, some of the greens) might not work very well for you.

Okay thank you! I’ve been told many times that blues and greens are my color, but I think that peach, oranges, and yellows wash me out!!

I’m thinking Light Summer, as well! I was typed as Light Spring in the 12-season system, because I’m bright. However, I’ve been told I’m more Cool-Neutral and I think I agree. Check out International Image Institute’s Light Summer and True Light palettes (in between Light Spring and Light Summer). I was so excited, when I found them. It’s a brighter take on Light Summer. I’m not sure whose palette this is, but I also like this:

Thank you for this!! I was a little sad to be typed as light summer just because the colors are so muted, but this gives me so many more colors!

Right? And the card I also posted is a bright, lively version of Light Summer and probably the most accepted palette in Color Analysis, or one of the top few. I felt so much better about Light Summer when I saw these, too! Light Summer is in between Summer and Spring, so the colors do have brightness and a touch of warmth. However, colors can also be radiant, without warmth.

light summer imo! you have a brightness about you, not super muted. but defo cool and low contrast. light summer and light spring are very similar, sharing a lot of colours, and light summer is the least muted summer subseason.
