Color Season:
Light Spring
Light Spring sits at the lightest end of the Spring family. The colors feel warm and fresh, but never heavy or sharp. Peach, light coral, buttery yellow, and clear aqua tend to harmonize better than cool pastels or sooty tones.

Colors to avoid
Dark, cool, or muddy colors quickly steal Light Spring’s glow. Deep plum turns the skin sallow, dark teal and bottle green feel heavy, and jet black casts hard shadows. Even warm colors that are rich and saturated — like mustard or rust — clash with the season’s light clarity.
