Spring color palette
Warm, clear and light, color with the sun in it.
Spring is the warm, bright half of the color wheel. Every Spring palette is golden-based and clear rather than dusty, running to coral, peach, warm turquoise and golden yellow. If your coloring has visible warmth and a natural brightness to it, you are somewhere in Spring.
What unites all three Springs is warmth combined with clarity. Nothing in a Spring palette is grayed or smoky, even the softest Spring colors stay clean. That is the fastest way to tell Spring from Autumn, which shares the warmth but adds dust.
