Welcome to the sunniest corner of the colour wheel!

If you’re a Warm Spring (sometimes called True Spring or Warm + Clear), you shine in the colours of new growth, sunshine, and fresh blossoms.

Think golden daffodils, ripe peaches, or a warm spring meadow bursting with life. Colours like the ones below are perfect for you - warm, glowing, and full of optimism.

What Makes Warm Spring Special?

Warm Spring is the purest expression of Spring: warm first, clear second.

Your palette sits at the bright, sunny heart of the Spring family. While Light Spring feels airy and pastel, and Clear Spring turns up the intensity with contrast, Warm Spring is balanced: always warm, always clear, and always fresh.

• Compared to Warm Autumn, your colours are lighter, cleaner, and more energetic. Autumn is warm and muted; Spring is warm and vivid.
• Compared to Clear Spring, your palette is less dramatic. It’s still bright, but warmth is the strongest quality.

Your Colour Dimensions

• Hue (Temperature): Strongly warm. Every shade has golden undertones. Cool or bluish shades dull your glow.
• Value (Lightness): Light to medium. Colours never go very dark or heavy.
• Chroma (Saturation): High. Colours are clear and vivid, not dusty or muted.

Identifying Warm Spring Features

Warm Spring can be found across all ethnicities. What unites Warm Springs is the relationship between skin, eyes, and hair rather than a single feature:

• Skin: Always has a warm undertone (golden, peach, honey, bronze, or golden-brown). It may be very fair or very deep, but it never looks cool, ashy, or pink-blue.
• Eyes: Clear, warm eyes that sparkle. They may be golden brown, hazel, green, turquoise, or warm blue. Often there’s a light-catching quality.
• Hair: Naturally warm — golden blonde, strawberry, copper, auburn, golden brown, or even deep brown/black with visible warmth or reddish highlights.
• Overall impression: Medium contrast, glowing warmth, colours that look alive and radiant.

Your Perfect Palette

Warm Spring is the palette of sunlight and fresh growth. Imagine warm coral flowers, golden sand, mangoes, and new green leaves.

• Best colours: Golden yellow, peach, warm coral, tomato red, salmon pink, leaf green, chartreuse, warm turquoise, camel, ivory.
• Avoid: Cool greys, icy tones, dusty pastels, or anything that feels “smoky” or muted.

Mastering Warm Spring Neutrals: Your Foundation Colours

Your best neutrals are warm, golden, and sun-kissed. Skip black and pure white – they’re too harsh – and instead reach for chocolate, cream, and glowing camel tones. These colours form your backdrop, allowing your brighter Warm Spring palette to shine.

Light Neutrals:

• Cream: Soft and buttery, your substitute for white
• Ivory: Slightly deeper and warmer than cream, never icy
• Light Camel: Gentle sandy tan that brings warmth without heaviness
• Golden Beige: Beige with a sunny undertone, glowing rather than flat

Medium Neutrals:

• Warm Camel: A golden tan that’s quintessential Warm Spring
• Honey Beige: Mid-tone beige with amber undertones
• Golden Taupe: Mushroomy taupe with warmth, never ashy
• Warm Stone: Soft greige with yellow undertones, a grounding choice

Dark Neutrals:

• Warm Chocolate Brown: Deep and rich, the perfect alternative to black
• Caramel: Golden mid-brown that feels deliciously warm
• Golden Olive/Khaki: A sunlit green-brown that harmonises beautifully with your palette
• Terracotta Brown: Earthy, sun-baked clay brown that adds depth and richness

How to Combine Your Colours

Your best outfits repeat the warmth and brightness in your natural colouring:

• Pair light + medium values for balanced contrast (e.g. peach with camel).
• Use hue contrast: golden yellow with turquoise, coral with fresh green.
• Anchor your wardrobe in warm neutrals, then add a splash of coral, yellow, or turquoise as an accent.

Fabrics & Patterns

• Fabrics: Look for warm, light-reflecting textures — cotton, silk, linen blends, shiny knits.
• Patterns: Florals, leaf motifs, playful geometrics, stripes in warm and clear shades. Avoid dull, dusty patterns — they’ll flatten your glow.

Jewellery & Makeup

• Jewellery: Yellow gold, rose gold, copper and bronze. Brushed or textured finishes work well. Gemstones like citrine, amber, peridot, coral, turquoise, and golden topaz.
• Makeup:
  • Foundation: Always match to your skin’s naturally warm, golden undertones. A neutral-warm foundation gives you a fresh, healthy glow – avoid anything with a pink or cool base, as it will dull your warmth.
  • Eyes: Bring your eyes to life with golds, bronzes, warm browns, golden greens, olive, and warm turquoise. These shades echo the sunlit brightness in your palette. For eyeliner, try rich warm brown or bronze instead of black.
  • Lips: Your best lip colours are peach, coral, salmon pink, warm red, and soft apricot. They should feel juicy and lively, not muted or blue-based. Glossy finishes work especially well on you, catching the light in a way that complements your warmth.
  • Blush: Stick to apricot, peach, and coral tones to lift your complexion. Avoid cool pinks – they’ll sit on top of your skin rather than blending seamlessly. A touch of golden highlighter across the cheeks ties the whole look together.

Building Your Warm Spring Wardrobe

• Start with warm neutrals, then add some sunny brights (camel trousers, cream tops, a coral blouse, a golden yellow scarf, a turquoise cardigan).
• Avoid shopping in the “black and grey” section — your colours live in the golden, fresh, glowing range.
• Understanding your Warm Spring colours isn't just about looking good – it's about buying better. When you know exactly which colours make you look radiant, you:
  • Avoid impulse purchases in unflattering shades,
  • Wear everything you buy because it all works together,
  • Buy less but better because you're confident in your choices,
  • Reduce fashion waste by choosing pieces you'll love in the long term.
