I love hearing people say “Spring has sprung!”
I live in Delaware, and after going through a long, cold winter (Missourians are rolling their eyes right now) there is nothing like the sight of that first crocus at the very start of Spring. Those first daffodils, tulips, and leaves sprouting from tree branches, Spring signifies LIFE!
And just like the colors of Spring, a true Spring color palette is full of shades that are Warm, Bright, and Clear.
What are Spring colors?
A Spring seasonal color palette is full of warm and bright shades like poppy red, daffodil yellow, and tangerine orange. Some of the neutral Spring colors are ivory, cream, camel, and clearer browns. Spring clothing colors are happy, joyful colors!
There are 3 different coloring patterns that we see in Spring types, and that they each need a unique Spring seasonal color palette. Are these palettes entirely different? No. There are definitely colors that overlap – some of the neutrals do, but there are some important differences in the other colors depending on that particular Spring’s skin tone, hair, and eye color. Spring palettes vary, depending on their dominant quality – light, warm, or bright. At Color Guru, we offer a full range of color analysis.

Dark-haired individuals can indeed fall into the Spring category if their overall coloring—skin tone, eye color, and hair—exudes the warmth, clarity, and brightness characteristic of Spring.
