Seasonal color analysis SPRING...

A true Seasonal Color Analysis SPRING is the most delicate but vivid of all the seasons, a beautiful bright fresh color palette.

If you fit into this category your natural coloring is glorious and you have a wonderful mix of characteristics; LIGHT, WARM and BRIGHT.

Do you feel an affinity with this palette of colors? Read on...

Is this your coloring?

If you are Seasonal Color Analysis Spring your coloring is likely to be similar to one of the celebrities above:

Your hair:

You will invariably have been a golden haired child and as you've matured you've retained elements of LIGHT golden blonde, light red or strawberry blonde. The red element says WARM and, even as you age and transition into gray, you're likely to continue to carry that 'golden glow'. 

Your eyes:

The BRIGHTness and clarity of your eye color is one of the most obvious characteristics of Seasonal Color Analysis SPRING - clear blue or turquoise, a slightly stronger teal, sometimes green or topaz and often flecked with yellow. There will sometimes be a deeper rim around the iris which denotes brightness. 

Your skin tone:

is fair through to a golden beige often with a sprinkling of freckles. Sometimes it may appear that you have pink tones but it always responds to the golden tones beneath that pink! 

NB There is a very odd occasion when the very fair and bright countenance has stronger eye and hair color e.g. amber/golden chestnut, rather like actress Michelle Dockery, beautiful but unusual! 

Any deeper or more muted colors will flatten this brightness. I've only ever twice come across this coloring personally!

Color Characteristics of SPRING

Each of the beautiful shades in the SPRING color palette has the same Color Characteristics as your own.

They're vivid, vibrant and fresh ready to complement and echo your natural coloring creating harmony!

When you're wearing colors from your own Color Family your skin and eyes will be clearer and blemishes will be minimized. A natural bloom will appear; makeup from the same color tones will enhance this even more.

This is what creates a COLOR FAMILY - a group of colors with the same characteristics that bonds them together with never a clash!

Rather like a family that is bonded together by a bloodline - although I can't always guarantee you won't occasionally find a clash in that event! 

Identify Spring colors and create Color Balance!

So how to identify these fabulous colors that will make you look amazing? If you are Seasonal Color Analysis SPRING, you are likely to feel comfortable with these fabulous shades. 

Look at the color blocks and you'll see all your most flattering colors: 

• They are all Warm, Light and Clear (Bright)
  

• Light and bright ivory is better than clinical pure white

• Clear shades of Peach and Apricot, Periwinkle and Light True Blue

• Clear Bright Aqua and Clear Bright Red

• Fresh Green, Turquoise and Gold

• All of these shades with a golden base will enhance your bright eyes

These ladies have all been determined SPRING by means of Personal Color Analysis. There is always a slight variation of coloring, each one of us is unique but they all come to life with this fabulous color palette.

Just like to wear Neutral Colors?

Some people may think that Color Analysis means you have to wear bright colors all the time - not so!! 

Although the SPRING palette is brighter than most, there is also a complete cross section of neutral and more gentle tones to create the basic pieces of your wardrobe.

You can choose to wear the beautiful accent colors with the neutrals or you can take a more subtle approach and wear a sophisticated neutral palette.

The SPRING neutrals all mix and match so that you can play with shades and tones. Every one is chosen by nature to be the most flattering for your natural coloring.  

Let's look at a real Style Icon, Jane Fonda, and the way these elegant neutral tones all work together.  

The creams, the beiges, light and deeper camel, golden tan through to a warm chocolate brown, gray and of course, and everyone wears denim! A subtle sage green blends in so well too.

It's so easy to over think putting colors together, but those neutrals are so ready to come to life. A top here, a scarf there, exactly as you would normally dress but in the perfect colors to make you look amazing! 

However you choose to wear your Color Family, you are guaranteed to feel comfortable and at ease wearing the colors that NATURE designed for you!

The vibrancy of Seasonal Color Analysis Spring

When you first see a color swatch it can be a bit intimidating but once you see how easily these colors fit together, the ideas come to life! 

Because every color has the same qualities of LIGHT, WARM and BRIGHT following a color palette means you can't really go wrong! Every color will blend seamlessly!  

A Color Swatch is ready to bring your colors to life!

Holding your brand new color swatch in your hand is exciting - but the next thought is often panic as you wonder what on earth you're going to do with it!

It can be really difficult to visualize how all the beautiful color shades will actually transform themselves into an outfit and find their way into your wardrobe! But Kettlewell Colours will certainly give you some great ideas. 

Having a color swatch can also be a bit daunting but I show you an easy way to feel at home using your color swatch.

Colors to avoid

• Avoid Cool colors with a blue undertone - icy pinks and blues, fuchsia and magenta

• Avoid deep heavy colors - they will drain your lovely golden tone and can make you look quite 'pinched' and grey.

• Avoid dusky or muted shades, they will flatten the brightness of your coloring

Do your colors change as you age? 

Do your colors change as you age?

They may a little because we lose some pigment color as we age, but it is rare for SPRING coloring to change.

Legendary actress Vanessa Redgrave (right) shares her Spring coloring with daughter Joely, continues to enjoy her brightest shades regardless of age retaining the 'golden glow' of Spring coloring.  

There are a couple of ladies pictured higher up the page looking fabulous with silver hair. Very often their contrast is stronger than before the hair transitioned into gray and they enjoy color more than they've ever done before! 

However, if you ever feel over-whelmed with vibrant color, try some of the softer/lighter shades to see if you feel more comfortable.
