What is Color Analysis?
Color analysis is a method used to determine which colors of clothing and makeup will look best on a person. It is based on the idea that certain colors will be more flattering on a person based on the tones in their skin, hair, and eyes. To do a color analysis, a person can either visit a professional or use a color analysis tool, such as a seasonal color chart, to determine their dominant colors. Once their dominant colors have been identified, they can use these colors when selecting clothing and makeup to create a cohesive and flattering look. It is important to note that while certain colors may be more flattering on a person, it is ultimately up to personal preference and style.
The Spring Color Palette
Mostly, a spring color palette in color analysis includes colors that are warm, bright, and clear. The colors are typically associated with springtime and are believed to be complementary to people with a “spring” skin tone.

A Guide to the Spring Color Palette

However, there are three subcategories of the spring palette that you may fall into that will further identify which shades suit you best: True Spring, Bright Spring, and Light Spring.
Bright Spring
Bright Springs have a light, peachy undertone to their skin and tend to look best in bright, bold colors. Think shades of pink, coral, and red, as well as bright greens and blues. Avoid dark-muted shades as they can make you look washed out.

Light Springs have a light, delicate undertone to their skin and tend to look best in softer, pastel shades. Think shades of pale pink, soft yellow, and light green. Avoid dark, bold shades as they can overwhelm your delicate features.

March 15, 2024What color of denim is best for a true Spring? Lightwash is supposed to be big this year but I’m not sure how that works in my closet.

March 19, 2024Spring is lucky because they look good in almost all jeans! I would say medium wash is the best since it falls in a “muted” category, but you could definitely get away with the light spectrum of medium wash, or a darker light wash!
