Colour theory

The colour seasons

Seasonal colour analysis describes personal colouring along four dimensions: temperature (warm or cool), value (light to deep), chroma (muted to clear), and contrast. The analysis estimates where you sit on each dimension and finds the season whose character matches best.

Spring

Warm, light and fresh

WarmValue: Light–mediumChroma: ClearContrast: Low–medium

A warm undertone with light-to-medium depth and clear, fresh brightness. Corals, peaches, golden yellows and lively aqua tones tend to harmonise well.
