Redness in your cheeks can look like a cool undertone when it is only blood flow, so test warm against cool with a rested face.

Light Spring or a neighbor?
Two answers? They are often next door.
Light Spring your season
- Warm ivory
- Light camel
- Soft brown
- Coral
- Light warm pink
- Light orange
Light Summer the neighbor
- Soft white
- Light cool gray
- Soft gray-blue
- Dusty navy
- Rose pink
- Powder blue
Same light depth. Light Summer leans cool where Light Spring leans warm.
The swap test
Run two swaps, one at a time: light peach against soft pink, then ivory against soft white. Hold each under your chin by a window. The one that evens your skin out wins, and the one that turns it gray or yellow loses.
Light Spring your season
- Warm ivory
- Light camel
- Soft brown
- Coral
- Light warm pink
- Light orange
True Spring the neighbor
- Cream
- Golden tan
- Warm brown
- Warm navy
- Coral
- Orange
Both lean warm. True Spring sits at medium depth, where Light Spring stays light.
The swap test
Use this swap only if the gray strip left you close to the line between light and medium. Hold a light peach under your chin by a window, then a medium coral, changing nothing else. The one that leaves your eyes looking clearer is the closer season.
- Bare face, window light.
- Phone under your chin, like a scarf.
- Watch your skin and your eyes.
Your skin
Same season, your skin.
A tan can change your depth reading, so run the strip again in another season if your swaps feel different.
- Coral
Olive tends to sit between warm and cool, so a very orange color can pull yellow.
- Coral
If your swaps land you here, keep the warm, clear colors at their richest, like a coral or a warm pink that stays clear against your skin.
- Coral

Lips, closet, hair. Start anywhere.
Questions about Light Spring
Two apps gave me two seasons.
Photos carry their own light, and a consultant's room has another. The two answers are often next door: Light Summer and True Spring. Hold both to your face by a window.
Can deep skin be Light Spring?
If your swaps land you here, keep the warm, clear colors at their richest, like a coral or a warm pink that stays clear against your skin. Pale versions can read chalky, so check one at your jaw by a window.
Do I have to give up black?
No. Black can read heavy near your face, so try warm brown or soft navy there, and keep black lower down, in shoes or trousers.
What hair color suits Light Spring?
Hair is the frame around your face, so it shifts how your palette reads. The usual direction is light to medium with a warm lean, like golden blond or a soft warm brown. If you dye your hair, tell the test it is dyed, or keep your natural color and bring the palette in through clothes and makeup.
Can I be Light Spring and Light Summer at once?
You can sit near the line between them. They share a light depth and differ in temperature, so a result between the two is expected, and your card shows both as neighbors. Wear colors from both sides until a swap by the window settles it.
What lip color suits Light Spring?
Warm pink or light coral tends to read as part of a light, warm coloring. Pick the depth by how far your lips sit from your skin, and swatch by a window. If a shade goes gray within the hour, try a clearer one in the same color range.
