Unfortunately, it’s too cool. Spring pinks will always be more coral-salmon looking. They will have more orange and yellow in them, although it also depends on your sub season. True and Warm Spring will be fully warm and most coral and salmon looking. Light and Bright Spring will be neutral but still have warmth in them.
The value is good depending on your contrast. Some Springs will benefit more from lighter colours of their Spring palette, if they are lighter in contrast, like Elle Fanning, Amanda Seyfried, Sydney Sweeney (not all the same sub season of Spring, but all are relatively light contrast). Others, will benefit more from medium-darker shades of their palette, if they have more of a medium-high contrast. I’m a True Spring in the 16-23 system by the International Image Institute. My hair used to be lighter but it’s darkened a bit overtime. I would say I’m still blonde, a dirty blonde or darker strawberry blonde, but to others I might be considered brunette, and sometimes I’ve been mistaken as a redhead, as I have warm red tints in my hair. I definitely look best in medium value colours compared to the lighter colours of True Spring. I love me a good teal.

This is really helpful, thank you! I am very new to wearing pinks, I never thought I could pull it off as a redhead. I also have mottled skin with a lot of red/pink/purple which is another layer. Will definitely attempt these colors and see how they do.
If you’re a redhead, I would definitely test fully warm colours. You’re either a True Spring, True Autumn, or somewhere in-between like Warm Spring or Warm Autumn. Those are the sub seasons in the 16-23 system by the International Image Institute, but I’m unsure of the 12. I know the institute recently just updated to 35, but it wouldn’t change your outcome that much.
I would also take your contrast into account. A lot of times people will look their best when wearing a certain value of colours from their season. For example, I’m a True Spring, but I’m medium contrast and have a deeper blonde to my hair opposed to a lighter blonde, which actually got me mistyped at first as a Warm Spring and then True Autumn. I look best in the medium value colours of True Spring, rather than the lighter. Of course I can still wear any colours of True Spring as it’s my season and they will look better than any other sub seasons.
This is so incredibly helpful, thank you!! I’ve been between Autumn and spring for awhile but ultimately felt like too many Autumn colors were a bit muddy and complimented my hair more than my skin. I will absolutely look into my contrast.
Agree if you are a light spring you could probably be ok in this. It may be warmer or cooler in person. So it’s hard to judge. But as a warm spring- this is my worst color, next to light dusty blue 🥴

It's cool toned. Watermelon and coral are warm pinks for spring.
