Seasonal color analysis
Spring color palette
The palette for people with warm (golden/yellow-based) coloring — warm, light and fresh — split into three seasons: True Spring, Light Spring and Bright Spring.
The Spring color palette in seasonal color analysis is warm (golden/yellow-based), light to medium in depth and medium to bright in clarity: three seasons — True Spring (also called Warm Spring), Light Spring (Light Warm Spring) and Bright Spring (Clear Spring) — holding 48 distinct colors and 18 neutrals between them, every one published here with its hex code. It is the palette worn by people with Spring coloring — warm, light and fresh — not a decorating scheme.
What are the Spring colors?
All 48 Spring colors, with hex codes — the three Spring palettes hold 48 swatches between them and 48 distinct colors, with no swatch shared between two Spring seasons. Wear them near the face, where the color is doing its job. Each season’s own page carries its 16 colors, its neutrals and its shades to avoid.

What does a Spring wear? (Spring color palette clothing)
True Spring: clear warm color as the main event; camel and warm cream as your "blacks". Jewelry: gold.
Light Spring: light warm layers over crisp warm-white; color near the face, softness everywhere else. Jewelry: gold.
Bright Spring: one saturated hero color per outfit; sharpen with bright navy or warm white. Jewelry: both, leaning gold.

Which Spring season am I?
Undertone puts you in the Spring family; two more questions — depth and clarity — pick the season inside it. Depth is how light or deep your natural coloring runs (light to medium across this family) and clarity is how bright or muted it is (medium to bright). True Spring: medium depth, clear clarity. Light Spring: light depth, medium clarity. Bright Spring: medium depth, bright clarity. The free Palettewell undertone quiz settles the first axis; the full analysis uses a quiz plus one selfie to settle all three.
Take the free undertone quiz to settle warm against cool, then get the full analysis to place yourself inside the Spring family.
Is there a cool Spring?
No. There is no cool Spring in the 12-season system — all three Spring seasons are warm, and that shared undertone is what makes them a family. Measured across the palettes, the coolest-leaning of the three is Bright Spring, whose colors sit closest to neutral on the yellow-blue axis, so “cool spring” usually points at it. If your coloring reads cool, the comparison to read is Bright Spring vs Bright Winter — that crossover, not a season that does not exist, is what the phrase is reaching for.
Bright Spring vs Bright Winter — both palettes side by side, and the test that separates them.
Is there a muted Spring?
Not really. No Spring season is muted — the family runs medium to bright in clarity, and clarity is half of what makes it a Spring. The softest of the three is Light Spring, the least saturated Spring palette when you measure it. If your coloring is genuinely muted and warm, the palette that fits is Soft Autumn rather than a Spring one.

It is the palette worn by people with Spring coloring — warm, light and fresh — not a decorating scheme.
What are the three Spring seasons?

Is there a cool Spring?
No. There is no cool Spring in the 12-season system — all three Spring seasons are warm, and that shared undertone is what makes them a family. Measured across the palettes, the coolest-leaning of the three is Bright Spring, whose colors sit closest to neutral on the yellow-blue axis, so “cool spring” usually points at it. If your coloring reads cool, the comparison to read is Bright Spring vs Bright Winter — that crossover, not a season that does not exist, is what the phrase is reaching for.

Which Spring season am I?
Undertone puts you in the Spring family; two more questions — depth and clarity — pick the season inside it. Depth is how light or deep your natural coloring runs (light to medium across this family) and clarity is how bright or muted it is (medium to bright). True Spring: medium depth, clear clarity. Light Spring: light depth, medium clarity. Bright Spring: medium depth, bright clarity. The free Palettewell undertone quiz settles the first axis; the full analysis uses a quiz plus one selfie to settle all three.
Is this the same as a spring color palette for design or decor?
No. This is the Spring palette in seasonal color analysis — the 48 colors that suit people with Spring coloring, chosen against skin, hair and eyes rather than against a room. The hex codes work perfectly well as a color scheme if that is what you came for, and a spring scheme built from them will read warm, light and fresh — but the reason each color is on the list is a face, not a wall.
