How we create the 12 seasonal palettes?
Your dominant season (Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter) and your secondary (one of the other three) creates your possible color palette.
So if somebody has light ash blonde hair and light green eyes, she could be either a Light Spring or a Light Summer, but if she has rather warmer skin tone than rosy, then she is probably a Light Spring. In this case, a light coral or a camel top flatters her overall look better than an icy pink or a medium grey one. This also means that she is a Spring woman who flows into Summer, so her dominant season is Spring, and her secondary is Summer.
Using the Spring example:
Spring + Summer = Light Spring
Spring + Autumn = Warm Spring
Spring + Winter = Clear Spring and so on.
Try the following additional colors against your face or use the shades in the second row as lipstick – you will be surprised. In the latter case, if you apply the right lipstick color, your teeth will appear whiter 🙂
Next, take the list of the colors of your wardrobe and examine it – which are your favorite colors and those you like? Are they cool or warm, bright or muted possibly some combinations?
I am sure; most women can sense their best colors. So find your colors’ characteristics in the following charts as well.
The Spring seasonal palettes
As I mentioned in the introduction, the Spring color palettes are light, vivid, and warm.
Light Spring: So you can be a Spring woman with warm colors who flows into Summer, so your colors are light and soft.
Warm Spring: You can be a Spring woman who flows into Autumn, so both your seasons are warm such as your colors.
Clear Spring: You are a Spring who has bright Winter traits, so your colors are light, warm, and vivid.

Lipstick colors:

The Summer seasonal palettes
The other light season is the Summer; however, it’s cool and muted. The Summer color palettes are light, soft, and cool.
Light Summer: So you can be a Summer woman with cool colors who flows into Spring, so your colors are muted.
Soft Summer: You can be a Summer woman who flows into Autumn. This is an often misdiagnosed palette due to its medium or neutral overall look. Your colors are soft and cool.
Cool Summer: You are a Summer who has vivid Winter traits, so your colors are soft and slightly bright as well.

For some reason, the way you presented the color analysis made sense to me and for the 1st time I was able to definitively determine that I am a warm spring. Thank you. I have tried to determine my colors through so many sites and never felt satisfied.
I just want to say I’m new to weblog and absolutely liked you’re website. More than likely I’m planning to bookmark your blog post . You absolutely come with wonderful article content. Thanks a bunch for sharing with us your webpage.
I like this weblog its a master peace ! Glad I observed this on google .
Great overview of all the color seasons. I was wondering if it is possible to be a spring and have dark hair and eyes like asians or africans have? not because I am asian/african or anything, but I have noticed that sometimes they are analysed as springs, but I wonder if they aren't too dark and maybe are more winter/autumns? According to your descriptions it seems like characteristics like black hair is not common among springs. Just curious about this, as I think it makes sense, because spring is light, but still I stumble upon websites that suggest otherwise, which I think is more confusing for many than helpful.
