Spring Colour Wheel


I haven't delved into this complex topic before as it is a hard thing to comprehend without being shown different examples in each one.. Which is why seeing a colour consultant or stylist is going to give you more a better view on it. But see what you can gather from the following information..

A Spring person is someone who is vibrant, colourful and exaggerated. Their skin tone is of light or ivory complexion, they usually tend to be natural golden blondes, auburn or strawberry blonde redheads with freckles or rosy cheeks.. Their eye colour tends to be light blue or green. Thus they have a high colour of red in their skin and tend to blush easily.

Spring colours are strong splashes of colour nothing shy pastel here. Shades of cream, champagne and camel take on a different shade when worn by this person..

To give you an idea of a Spring person think, Julianne Moore, Nicole Kidman they are classics in this part of the colour wheel..

The best white for this person is an off white almost creamy also they can wear a good clear beige to camel colour. Spring browns are a tan and to chocolate in the shade of more milk chocolate rather than dark chocolate.. When looking for a grey go for the yellow side of this shade, so stick to the lighter scale, especially when you are wearing it near your face.. Even with Navy use the same principle, lighter rather than darker.

Peach, apricot, salmon, coral and peachy pinks look outstanding on this person, also look at turquoise, aqua light blues. Light to medium violet, keeping it to the blue side of violet is better. Then onto your oranges, keep them bright, coral is good, though remember all palates can wear coral it is one of those fabrics that isn't biased and easy to share pieces with girlfriends so make sure you have some of these in your wardrobe..

Black can be worn but make sure you lift it with your spring colours, especially near your face.. A bright scarf or earrings should do the trick.. For the fairer of the Spring person you should avoid Black near your face altogether it will just make you appear paler.. Also never wear pure white, off whites are doable but not a white white..

Your wardrobe should be a nice array of colours, with your usual staple basics in Black and greys.. But colour is the way to go for you.. Nicole and Julianne look amazing in the emerald green and you should too..

Next post to be Summer..
