True Spring Characteristics

True Spring, also described by Dream Wardrobe as Warm Spring, is the hottest point of the Spring family: bright, sunlit, and unmistakably warm. The palette feels lively and fresh, but it carries more depth and saturation than the lighter Spring sub-seasons.

Physical Features

  • Eyes: Warm blue, green, light hazel, or topaz
  • Skin: Golden or honey skin with clearly warm undertones
  • Hair: Medium golden blonde, copper, or medium golden brown
  • Overall: Medium contrast with warmth showing up across the whole face

Color Qualities

  • Temperature: Maximum warmth with no room for icy or cool shades
  • Saturation: Clear and fresh, but stronger and deeper than Light Spring
  • Contrast: Moderate contrast that still reads lively rather than dramatic
  • Avoid: Cool greys, dusty muted shades, and heavy winter darkness
