Clear Spring

Clear Spring (also called Bright Spring) is defined by clarity and contrast. Your coloring can handle saturated color, and soft or dusty shades tend to look muddy on you. The undertone leans warm, but this type sits close to Winter, so clear cool colors can also work.

  • Noticeable contrast between hair, skin and eyes
  • Bright, clear eyes
  • Skin that looks lively in bright colors

Common traits, not rules. Plenty of Clear Springs have none of them.
