Understanding the Characteristics
True Autumn
Unmistakably Warm
Golden undertones run through every aspect of your coloring. Cool colors look foreign on you; warm earth tones feel like coming home.
Rich & Saturated
Unlike the softer Autumns, you can handle depth and richness. Your colors are the full-bodied reds of turning leaves, the burnt orange of harvest.
Medium Contrast
You have definition without drama. This balance means you look best in colors with similar intensity—not washed out, not overpowering.
True Spring
Distinctly Warm
Warmth is the defining quality of your coloring. Your skin, eyes, and hair all carry golden or peachy notes—cool colors simply don't resonate with your natural palette.
Clear & Bright
There's nothing muted about True Spring. Your colors need clarity and vibrancy—dusty or grayed tones will make you look tired rather than radiant.
Medium Contrast
You have enough contrast to wear bold colors, but not so much that you need the extremes of black and white. Your sweet spot is rich, saturated warmth.
