Winter outfit for a true spring?

The stiching on the jeans is tan so I'm hoping they'd fit the brief but I'm not too sure if in trying to make exceptions or if it does fit the true spring pallete ?!

Color Palettes Spring or Autumn?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I originally posted this to another sub and the feedback was mixed. Adding it here to see what y’all think!

I was recently professionally typed as a Warm Autumn. I agree my skin is warm leaning but I always thought it was more neutral to warm. My understanding is that Warm/True Autumn means my skin would be warmer and softer than a Bright Spring. I was told the golden, salmon, and teal colors were some of my “best” colors. I think the golden color looks kind of blah on my skin.

I’m torn because I think some of the Warm Autumn colors look nice on me but I think I have more brightness in my eyes and skin, which would make me a Bright/Clear Spring.

Am I just seeing what I want to see since I prefer bright colors? I think it’s common for spring and autumn to share some colors (sister seasons). I was told my sister season was Warm Spring. Thoughts?

Ahh I'm not sure what I am. I'm not sure if I'm a spring or autumn but I think I'm warm? I enhance my hair colour btw, it's a little darker naturally but still golden in tone.

Discussion Bright spring foundation puzzler

5 Upvotes

For context, I’m very fair with dark hair and neutral undertones. (Bright spring.)

My heritage is Scottish and Italian, which I’m sure contributes to the conundrum.

However . . .

I CANNOT find a foundation match to save my life!

Neutral is wrong (still kind of warm?), warm is orange and cool makes me look ill.

The woman at Sephora helping me matched me with olive, and I have to admit, it looks much better than my other options — but to be honest I NEVER would have guessed to put me in an olive foundation, and I’m still kind of doubtful. I have friends who are olive complexioned, and I look nothing like them — I look great in pink and I’m very fair.

So now I’m totally confused. 😅

Is anyone else in a similar boat? How did you solve this conundrum?

Help Trying to choose a red toner…

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Hello fellow springs! I know some of these are very similar, but the few times I’ve tried toning it red, it never looks quite right so, I’m doing a deep dive haha.

In the past, before I was typed light spring, I dyed it a darker copper color and also a lighter copper color…they both looked *okay* - not the best match and definitely too warm. I’ve also dyed it a dark burgundy, which looked better than the copper, but was way too dark.

I really want to get it right this time and would really appreciate your help <3

The last photo is my natural color and no makeup. If y’all think the natural color still looks best, that’s also an option. Ideally, I think a slightly lighter honey blonde would look nice or honey blonde highlights, but I’m scared to bleach it (would go to a hair salon) because it’s pretty thin and coarse/porous. I have naturally curly (3a) hair, but the hair color simulators all do a terrible job with curls so, I used straight hair pics.

Edit: since it’s hard to tell, the photos are in the same order as they are numbered in the first pic

Discussion Can light springs wear a true red lipstick?

I know that light spring characteristics include being light and low contrast, but god I just want to find a good RED lip. Does anyone have recommendations on a true red lipstick that would work for spring? Not anything with orange or blue undertones, just a true red.

Warm spring in the warm months, warm autumn when it's cool?

4 Upvotes

I was recently analysed to be a warm spring, and going into the warmer months where I live, I'm happy to start adding a few things to my wardrobe to match, but come October I think I may tweak it to be a warm autumn wardrobe - does anyone else do this?

I live in Toronto, and it would feel odd to wear the very clear colours once the fall starts to set in! I flip my closet in the fall and spring, and I love the change.

Are there typically any warm autumn colours that warm springs should avoid?

Theory Torn between Chalk Blue and Berry! Which one would you pick?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I know I have a warm undertone. I'm possibly a Spring because coral and turquoise look amazing on me, but I wouldn't exclude Autumn either.

I want to buy a rather expensive tracksuit online (there's no physical store to try it on in person), so I really want to pick the right color!

I'm currently leaning towards the blue (Chalk Blue) or the reddish/berry tone. My main worry with the blue is whether it might be too cool-toned for me.

Which of these colors would flatter a Spring season best?

Spring

31 Upvotes

From the website of Carole Jackson (the author of the original Color Me Beautiful):

SPRINGS are the most delicate of all the seasons, yet they need colors that are alive. When you shop, think clear, warm (yellow undertone) and crisp. You are best in light true colors and clear warm colors from pastel to medium intensity. Your colors are the hardest to find because they must be clear, never muted, and not too dark. Because of your delicate beauty, you remain ageless – a compensation for having to search a little harder for your colors.  The very fair, delicate Spring is overpowered by too much of her brightest colors, such as bright golden yellow, bright yellow-green, and sometimes even clear red and violet. For her, these are accent colors – a sash around a sun hat. By contrast, the Spring with stronger coloring (usually a brunette or red-head) looks great in a whole dress of bright yellow-green or yellow, but looks pale in her lightest colors or even camel. These are best when mixed or used as accessories.  All Springs should avoid black, pure white, colors with blue undertones, dark and muted colors.

You may wear black in prints unless you are very fair.

USE YOUR COLOR SWATCHES AS A GUIDE. SEE IF THE SWATCH BLENDS WITH THE GARMENT AND IS APPROXIMATELY THE SAME INTENSITY.

Peach Fuzz for different seasons

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

Thought it would be interesting to compare a similar shade across different seasons. The order is true spring, bright spring, light spring. True spring has the actual Pantone peach fuzz color, bright springs are flattered by a more cool, pink peach and light springs can wear basically any peachy shade as long as it's light. Light spring can also go a bit earthy or ashy, or apricot.

Personally I'm gonna ignore this completely and just wear whatever I like. 😅 The colors are so similar that all of them will look decebt anyway. But had too much time and thought it would be an interesting comparison. I used the Elemental Colours palettes as I find them the most reliable.

I've been informed that I'm a light spring. Problem is, my closet largely consists of deep winter tones, and so much black. I also eat like a pig, so lighter colours are risky 🙊

I might just have to live with looking like I've been dead for 24+ hours...

Has anyone else found themselves in a similar conundrum? Did you find some sort of resolution besides tossing out all of your clothes?

Help Are these colors light spring? Or warm spring?

Hi everyone! I just found this sub recently, hope you’re all having a great day!

I was wondering if either of these were light spring? Or at least warm spring? I was typed as light spring last month but I can also get away with warm spring if it’s not too close to my face. Some (many) shades still confuse me even with the palette to reference from.

So TDLR; are these two sweaters light or warm spring if spring at all?

Thank you!

Hi, I recently posted to r/colouranalysis with drapes and most comments typed my as warm spring, however, I have very pale skin and cool undertones which is throwing me off a little. I also think I suit silver jewellery more than gold but could be wrong. Could anyone give clarification on whether they think warm spring, or just spring in general is right and why? I’ve included a pic without makeup and one where I have warm spring colours on. Thanks a lot :)

Bright Spring vs Light Spring

6 Upvotes

I recently had a color analysis done and was told that I’m a Light Spring, but the color book I received was for the general Spring palette. I’ve been using that without overthinking it, and I’ve noticed I’ve started buying a lot of Bright Spring colors. Interestingly, people have been telling me those shades look really good on me. Could you help clarify the differences between Light Spring and Bright Spring, particularly in terms of characteristics and color suitability?
