What defines the Clear Spring palette
Clear Spring (Bright Spring) sits between spring and winter. Hair is dark warm brown to black with golden tones; eyes are bright and clear—true blue, sparkling green, or warm topaz; skin is ivory to medium with warm undertones. Your contrast level is high. Colors must be saturated and bright—no muted or dusty shades. Think hot coral, emerald, royal blue.
The palette sits where medium depth, warm neutral undertone, and high contrast meet. In practice that means clear, bright, warm colors — never too stark, never too flat.

Common mistakes with this palette
- Mixing in the avoid list. Even one dusty pastel piece near the face can make your skin look tired. Keep the face-adjacent layer (shirt, scarf, lipstick) firmly inside the palette; let wrong-season colors live in trousers and shoes where they don't cast onto skin.
- Going too literal. The swatches are anchors, not the only acceptable colors. Anything in the same family — same depth, same undertone, same level of saturation — is safe. Deviate in one dimension at most.
- Ignoring metal. Warm gold, bronze, and brass flatter this palette; stark silver can look cold against skin.
