Light Spring Color Palette

The Light Spring oranges & corals are Peach Blossom (#FFB59E), Coral Pink (#F99787), Melon Sorbet (#FFA588), Powder Peach (#FAD0BB) and Apricot Cream (#FFC498) — they carry the most pigment in a moderately clear palette, and they sit right at the Light Spring palette’s mid-depth. All 5 are Light Spring palette colors, each on this page as a named swatch with its hex code.

The Light Spring greens are Spring Aqua (#8FD6C6), Pistachio (#B8D8A0), Soft Turquoise (#7CCFD0), Fresh Leaf (#9CCB76) and Honeydew (#DCE8A9) — moderately clear and warm-leaning, in step with the rest of the palette, and they sit right at the Light Spring palette’s mid-depth. All 5 are Light Spring palette colors, each on this page as a named swatch with its hex code.

The Light Spring yellows & golds are Buttercream (#F7DC8E) and Baby Marigold (#FBC65F) — they carry the most pigment in a moderately clear palette, and they sit right at the Light Spring palette’s mid-depth. Both are Light Spring palette colors, each on this page as a named swatch with its hex code.

Yes — this page is the Light Spring color chart. It carries 16 palette colors, 6 neutrals and 6 shades to avoid: 28 swatches in all, every one with its name and its hex code, and the palette is also grouped by hue family (oranges & corals, greens, yellows & golds and the neutrals) so you can pull one family out of the chart. The hex codes are rendered as text rather than baked into an image, so a screenshot keeps them readable and copy-paste still works.

Light Spring is also sold as Light Warm Spring and Spring-Summer — the same season under a different system's naming. SciART-derived charts say “True”, “Bright” and “Deep” where older books say “Warm”, “Clear” and “Dark”, and the 12-blueprint and flow systems name a blended season after the two it sits between, which is where Spring-Summer comes from. Whichever name you arrived with, the palette on this page is the one it points at. Style-essence labels like “ingenue” or “gamine” are a different system again — they type body and style rather than color, so they change how a garment is cut, not which colors suit you.

No — Jet Black (#141414) is on the Light Spring avoid list. It sits outside the palette on depth and undertone both, so it drops a hard line under the face. The deepest neutral in the Light Spring set is Light Taupe (#C9B49C), and that is the anchor to reach for instead.

The 6 colors Light Spring should avoid are Jet Black, Burgundy, Charcoal, Deep Plum, Icy Fuchsia and Espresso. Each one misses the palette on undertone, depth or clarity rather than on taste — the measured reason for each is on this page, with a palette swap for every one of them on the Light Spring colors-to-avoid page.

Gold. Light Spring coloring is warm (golden/yellow-based), so a warm metal picks up the same base the palette runs on; silver sits cold and flat against it.

Light Spring hair follows the same undertone rule as the clothes: stay light and warm: golden blonde, honey, light caramel — avoid ashy or inky depth. The point is to keep hair, skin and palette on one temperature so nothing in the picture argues.

16 palette colors plus 6 neutrals, and Palettewell publishes every one with its hex code. Add the 6 shades to avoid and the Light Spring page carries 28 named values in total.

Light Spring is warm (golden/yellow-based). On the other two axes it is light in depth and moderately clear, and those two are what separate Light Spring from the other Spring seasons.

Both are Spring seasons, so both share a warm base. They part on value (Light Spring is light, True Spring is medium) and chroma (Light Spring is medium, True Spring is clear). In practice that is Peach Blossom, Buttercream and Spring Aqua against Coral Rose, Marigold and Leaf Green.
