True Spring
Also called Warm Spring.
True Spring is the warmest season in the spring family: golden, light and bright colouring. Cheerful yellow-based colours suit it, like coral, apple green and warm turquoise, while grey and ashy tones wash it out.
- Temperature: warm
- Depth: medium
- Intensity: medium-high
How to tell if you are a True Spring
- Skin: Ivory, peach or golden; may have freckles and tans easily.
- Hair: Golden blonde, strawberry blonde, golden brown.
- Eyes: Green, turquoise, golden hazel or warm blue.

Colours best avoided
- Fuchsia: Its bright coolness clashes with your golden base.
- Slate Grey: Cool and flat, it takes the gold out of your face.
- Dusty Mauve: Murky and cool, it dulls the vibrancy that defines you.
Metals: best in gold and bright gold; less so in silver and grey.
How to build your wardrobe
Warm neutrals (camel, cream, warm navy) as a base and bright colours on top. Pure black looks harsh on this face; chocolate brown or navy work better.
Seasons it is often confused with
- Light Spring: Light Spring is softer and lighter: very saturated colours are too much for it.
- True Autumn: True Autumn is warm too, but its colours are earthy and muted, not bright.
