Light Spring Colors: Palette, Wardrobe & Makeup Guide

Quick answer: Light Springs have a light warm undertone with a golden, peachy cast and low-to-medium contrast. Your power colors are warm pastels like peach, light coral, mint green, and golden yellow. Gold and rose gold are your metals. Celebrity Light Springs include Cate Blanchett, Taylor Swift, and Scarlett Johansson.

If you have been typed as a Light Spring, you radiate warmth and lightness — like the first golden rays of spring sunshine. Your coloring is delicate with warm undertones, and light, warm pastels make your complexion glow while heavier or cooler tones can overwhelm your natural brightness.

  • Pure black (try warm taupe or soft camel instead)
  • Midnight navy and very dark blues
  • Dark burgundy and maroon
  • Dark slate grey and heavy cool tones

Your Metal

Gold and rose gold both complement your warm, delicate coloring beautifully. The lighter warmth of rose gold is especially flattering. Cool silver can look stark against your soft warmth, so keep it to a minimum or skip it entirely.
