Contrast

As a Light Spring, your overall level of contrast is low. In other words, your skin, hair and eyes are all similarly light. A black-and-white-photo of you would show all of the colors of your body as similar shades of grey.

So to create the look nature meant you to have, it's not enough just to wear the colors in your palette. It's also important for your clothes to echo your natural low level of contrast. This means that the colors you combine should resemble each other closely.

Combining slightly different shades of one hue, such a light yellow with a medium yellow, will look incredible on you.

Combining neighboring hues with the same level of lightness, such as a light yellow with a light yellow-green, will also look fantastic.
