True Spring
Golden, fresh and full of life
True Springs are the warmest of the Spring family, with a golden glow and lively, clear coloring. Bright warm shades like coral, marigold and kelly green make you radiant, while cool, icy or dusty colors leave you looking washed out.

The 3 dimensions of color
Temperature
Is your undertone warm (golden, peachy) or cool (pink, blue)? Spring and Autumn are warm; Summer and Winter are cool.
Value
How light or deep is your overall coloring? Light seasons need delicate colors; Deep seasons need rich, dark ones.
Chroma
Do you suit clear, saturated colors (Bright) or soft, muted ones (Soft)? This is often the trickiest to judge.
