The idea for this post came from a message I wrote to a woman trying to locate herself within Spring. Thanks, T. :-) When considering the sub-seasons, it can often be difficult to identify colors that clearly distinguish between them. In the case of Light Spring vs. True (Warm) Spring, though, there are a few differences between the palettes that are relatively easy to articulate. If you've narrowed yourself down to these two seasons, you might use the following examples to help determine where you fit. Which colors can you (or can't you) wear? Pink True Spring has no pinks to speak of. The closest it comes to pink is bright, fairly deep coral. Light Spring, on the other hand, has several lovely, warmish, light-to-medium pinks and pinky-corals. If you're a Light Spring, you may be able to wear a similar coral. But if you're a True Spring, you won't look well in that pink. Yellow Light Spring's lightest yellows are bright, but light and delicate. True Spring's yellows, even the lightest ones, are much more rich and buttery. A Light Spring may be able to wear both yellows. But the lightest, most delicate yellow will only flatter a Light Spring. Green True Spring's greens go surprisingly deep. Deeper even than this. Have I mentioned that this season can take a lot of color? Light Spring, meanwhile, is ever delicate. Their greens don't go much deeper than this: A True Spring can wear a similar light green, but a Light Spring won't tolerate the deep, saturated green. As you consider these two seasons for yourself, keep these two ideas in mind:
And don't forget: your hair and eye color do not rule you out of either of these seasons. To my knowledge (and I research this stuff), only one woman mentioned in this post is a natural blonde. And it's dark blonde. :-)
