Coloring Characteristics

Are You a Warm Spring?

Warm Spring coloring example

When you look in the mirror, your overall coloring sits in the middle—not too bright, not too light. Warm undertones give your features a natural, balanced contrast and a golden glow. Sun-drenched colors enhance you more than cool or muted shades.

  • Hair: Typically golden blonde, medium brown, or warm red.
  • Skin: Warm undertones with a sunny, golden cast.
  • Eyes: Hazel, olive, blue, green, or warm brown.
  • Overall: Medium contrast with a balanced, natural quality.
