What makes a Light Spring
Light Springs glow in airy, warm-leaning colors that feel like a sunny morning. Your features are soft and light, so gentle brights and creamy pastels make you look rested and radiant.
In color analysis terms, Light Spring combines a neutral-warm undertone, light value (depth) and low contrast. These traits describe how colors interact — they appear across all skin tones and ethnicities, and no season is better than another.

- Light Spring isn't only for blondes; light golden-brown hair with soft features fits too.
- Seasons are a guide, not a rule. Lighting, hair dye, a tan or makeup can shift how colors look on you, and an in-person draping session remains the most accurate way to confirm your season.
