Clear Spring

Best Colours

Wear these closest to your face for maximum flattery.

Colours to Avoid

These clash with your natural undertone and can make skin look dull or sallow.

Styling Tips

• Lean into brightness — your palette is one of the most vivid, and clear, saturated colours are your superpower
• Avoid muted or dusty versions of colours — a muted coral is less flattering than a vivid coral
• High-contrast combinations (warm ivory top with vivid coloured bottom) look dynamic and intentional
• Bright, clear accessories in your palette colours can transform a simple outfit
• Warm yellow gold jewellery in bold, bright finishes suits your vivid colouring

Your Best Neutrals

Understanding Clear Spring

Clear Spring is the most vivid and high-energy of all the spring palettes. It bridges spring and winter, combining spring's warmth with winter's love of clarity and contrast. The result is a palette that is bright, warm, and unmistakably striking.

Where Light Spring is delicate and pale, and Warm Spring is earthy and golden, Clear Spring is bright and vivid. It's the spring palette that can most successfully wear bold, saturated colours — as long as they're warm.

The Clear Quality

"Clear" in colour analysis means the opposite of muted. Clear colours are fully saturated, bright, and vivid — they haven't been softened or greyed. Clear Spring colouring has this clarity built in: the eyes are often particularly striking, with a bright, clear quality that vivid colours can match and enhance.

Clear Spring often shares some characteristics with Clear Winter — both have high contrast and clear colours. The difference is temperature: Clear Spring's version of every colour has a warm undertone, while Clear Winter's colours lean cool.

Your Vibrant Palette

Clear Spring's wardrobe should be built around brightness and warmth.

Your best statement pieces: Vivid coral, bright warm green, clear orange, vivid warm pink, and bright turquoise (warm-toned). These bold colours look effortless on Clear Spring colouring.

Neutrals: Warm ivory, camel, and warm light brown. Avoid grey, cool white, and black if possible — they clash with your warm, vivid colouring.

The key principle: Never mute a colour for Clear Spring. If you're drawn to sage green, choose the brightest, warmest version rather than the dusty or greyed version. The clarity is what makes the colour work.
