Spring
Bright Spring
Bright Spring is the clearest and most vivid Spring, sitting at the border with Bright Winter. It keeps Spring warmth, but brightness is the dominant trait: colors should look clean, electric, and freshly lit. This season can handle stronger contrast than other Springs, especially when blackened anchors are replaced by ink teal, clear navy, espresso, or another crisp dark. The best palette includes hot coral, clear red, acid yellow, bright turquoise, emerald, and sharp warm pinks. The practical shopping test is whether a color looks vivid and clean without turning icy, dusty, or browned.
springLight Spring
Light Spring is the lightest expression of the Spring family: warm, fresh, and delicate rather than intense. Its best colors look sunlit, clean, and lightly warmed, with enough clarity to feel lively but not so much saturation that the color wears the person. The palette bridges Spring and Light Summer, so some colors can look nearly pastel, but the most flattering versions keep a peach, ivory, aqua, or honey warmth. Contrast works best when it is low to medium, often built from light neutrals with one cheerful accent. The practical shopping goal is to choose colors that feel airy and bright without becoming icy, gray, or heavy.
springTrue Spring
True Spring is the clearest warm Spring expression: golden, lively, and energetic without becoming icy or severe. Its best colors have visible warmth and brightness, with enough value range to create cheerful contrast while staying lighter than Autumn. The palette is strongest in coral, peach, golden yellow, fresh green, turquoise, and warm ivory. True Spring usually looks better in color than in heavy neutrals, so wardrobe basics should still have warmth and life. The practical goal is to choose clear warm colors that look sunlit rather than dusty, browned, or blue-based.
Summer
Light Summer
Light Summer is cool, light, and gentle, sitting between Summer and Light Spring. Its colors are airy and softened, but they should still look clean enough to brighten the face. The best palette uses powder blues, rose pinks, lavender, seafoam, soft navy, pearl gray, and cool taupe. Warmth is not absent from every wearable color, but the most flattering versions are cooler, quieter, and more refined than Light Spring. The practical shopping goal is to choose light cool colors that do not become icy-white, dusty-brown, or heavily saturated.
summerSoft Summer
Soft Summer is the most muted Summer, sitting near Soft Autumn. Its colors are cool to neutral-cool, gray softened, and medium-light to medium in depth. The best palette feels smoky and blended: dusty rose, mauve, slate blue, soft teal, blue-gray, mushroom, and muted berry. Warmth can appear in tiny amounts because of the Autumn border, but the overall effect should remain cool and desaturated. The practical shopping goal is to choose colors that look gently weathered rather than bright, icy, golden, or dark-heavy.
summerTrue Summer
True Summer is the clearest expression of the Summer family: cool, softened, and elegant. It is not as pale as Light Summer and not as neutral as Soft Summer, so the best colors remain distinctly blue-based while staying gentle. Rose, mauve, blue-gray, periwinkle, soft plum, raspberry, and refined navy are especially useful. Contrast should be low to medium and often tonal, because harsh black-and-white combinations can overwhelm the softness. The practical shopping goal is to choose colors that look cooled by mist rather than warmed by gold or sharpened into Winter brightness.
Autumn
Dark Autumn
Dark Autumn is the deepest Autumn, sitting at the border with Dark Winter. It keeps Autumn warmth and earthiness, but depth and contrast are stronger than True Autumn. The palette uses espresso, blackened brown, deep olive, tobacco, burnished copper, brick, oxblood, peacock teal, and antique gold tones. Colors should feel saturated by shadow rather than brightened by ice, so the best accents are rich and dense. The practical shopping goal is to choose deep warm colors with enough intensity to hold contrast while avoiding colors that are pale, powdery, neon, or cool-blue dominant.
autumnSoft Autumn
Soft Autumn is warm-neutral, muted, and gently earthy. It sits between Soft Summer and True Autumn, so the best colors are warmer than Summer but less golden, saturated, and deep than the stronger Autumn seasons. The palette is built from oatmeal, warm taupe, sage, moss, dusty terracotta, muted coral, soft teal, bronze, and mushroom-brown neutrals. Contrast is low to medium-low, and the most flattering outfits often blend several softened colors rather than relying on a sharp dark-light split. The practical shopping goal is to find colors that look sun-warmed and weathered, not icy, neon, stark, or overly orange.
autumnTrue Autumn
True Autumn is the warmest and most golden Autumn expression. Its colors are earthy, spicy, and medium to medium-deep, with more saturation than Soft Autumn but less darkness than Dark Autumn. The palette centers on camel, tobacco, olive, moss, pumpkin, rust, mustard, warm teal, cream, and chocolate. Contrast works best at a medium level, especially when dark browns and olives are paired with warm creams or spicy accents. The practical shopping goal is to choose colors that look golden, grounded, and natural rather than cool, gray, icy, or artificially bright.
Winter
Bright Winter
Bright Winter is the most vivid Winter, sitting at the border with Bright Spring. Its best colors are clear, saturated, and high contrast, with a cool-neutral base and a little more brightness than True Winter. The palette uses black, bright white, icy lights, electric pink, cherry, vivid violet, electric blue, bright teal, emerald, and sharp cool neutrals. Some slightly warmer brights can work because of the Spring border, but muted, dusty, beige, and earthy colors usually reduce the sparkle. The practical shopping goal is to choose the cleanest, brightest version of a color while keeping the overall effect cool, crisp, and high contrast.
winterDark Winter
Dark Winter is the deepest Winter, sitting beside Dark Autumn. It is primarily cool and high contrast, but it can borrow a small amount of warmth compared with True Winter. The palette uses black, blue-black, deep navy, charcoal, cranberry, wine, pine, jewel teal, aubergine, icy lights, and sharp cool neutrals. Colors should look saturated and shadowed, not dusty or earthy. The practical shopping goal is to choose deep cool colors with enough clarity and contrast while using warm browns, camel, orange, and muted beige with caution.
winterTrue Winter
True Winter is the clearest cool Winter expression. Its colors are crisp, blue-based, saturated, and high contrast, with black, white, silver gray, blue-red, fuchsia, emerald, cobalt, and icy lights at the center. Unlike Dark Winter, True Winter is less earthy and does not need warmth; unlike Bright Winter, it is cool before it is neon-bright. High contrast usually looks natural, especially black with white or icy color plus one clear jewel accent. The practical shopping goal is to choose clean cool colors that stay sharp rather than dusty, creamy, muted, or golden.
