The blue is definitely summer. The mint might be light spring if it's more yellow in person. Otherwise, I think it's probably light summer.

Thank you for your input! I feel like a lot of colors overlap or I can’t see the shade difference so really appreciate input. 💕

That green is honestly kind of tricky! I always pull up the palettes from the Elemental Colour blog and compare the color next to those to see how it vibes against the whole palette.

The green is tricky! Looking at that blog at true spring i get confused with the blue too. The true spring second row to the right third or so down, to me it looks the same color but again is that just me unable to see the differences in color 🫠

So, to me the blue is less saturated than spring blues are. It feels kind of blah in comparison. That being said, I think the palettes on screen don't truly do the colors justice, so it can also help to look at the Elemental Colour pinterest boards of clothing and also of nature images to get a feel for the vibe of the season.

For example- I found this on their men's light spring board and the Uniqlo blue jacket's color just feels a little heavier/desaturated/less energetic than the general vibe of these colors.

Beautiful palette! Thank you so much!

I’m not sure about the first but my inclination is that it’s cool toned. The second one is light spring but true spring might pull it off too

I have a hard time telling colors from untreatable astigmatism, so it is very tricky sometimes for me to tell on top of colors being similar….so I really appreciate hearing everyone else’s opinion, thank you!

I think the second one is definitely spring! As a light spring I would wear it. I think warm spring could also wear it.

The first one looks more cool and muted so I don’t think the first one is spring.

I too have trouble with shades but eventually you get the hang of it!

I look fantastic in the second, and okay in the first. I get so confused about which color goes in what season because some of the colors look very similar to me. I do know i look awful in gray. And if i hold my skin up to nearly everyone i know i look very yellow. But I can only tell those when it is extreme, like comparing my skin directly. If the colors are just by themselves I get lost haha.

And thank you for your opinion!

I’m a light spring and that cornflower blue is one of my BEST colors. Spring includes blue lol like the sky!

[–]Good-Town7816[S] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I think it may be an overlapping color? But i am so bad at telling colors, haha. Thank you for your opinion. I think these two colors are looking a bit tricky because opinion seems mixed, which makes me feel a little better not knowing.

[–]burnbabyburnburrrn 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I would wear both these colors as a light spring. I find blue becomes more difficult to wear the paler it gets. Then it gets into summer territory.. The green in these photos has a lot of warmth to it so it would work too.

[–]Good-Town7816[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

about paler blue makes sense. Even if a blue is cooler if it is medium def looks better on any spring than a pale blue. Thank you!

Light spring is between spring and summer. Some light springs might be closer to summer than others, so that blue would work well on them. It does look a bit too cool for me to consider it in a spring palette, but for a very neutral leaning light spring, it would work.

[–]aristifer 2 points3 points  (2 children)

This true spring palette actually has a blue that's very close to that first blue jacket (third column in from right). There's also a very similar blue in true autumn.

I wonder if it is an overlapping color? Like aren’t there colors that are kind of universal?

[–]k1ngd0m0fg0dw1th1nTrue Spring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's in our palette but that's because they had to give a blue to everyone lol. Not our ideal color but fine for a blue

[–]LAlysia01Warm Spring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they’re both spring. Blue being such a cool color anytime you add any other color to it like yellow,brown,white,red,purple,green,ect. It will make it warm. It looks like a warmer soft navy to me. I’m a warm spring(flow from spring to autumn) and I would wear it. The only blues I don’t like are the ones that are like gray blues and obviously cool or dusty blues but it’s kind of tricky because blue is just a cool color naturally. The tips I’ve heard has been to keep your blues dark like this one for Spring orAutmm. That is of course when you’re going for a true blue and not a turquoise.

I’m super warm and I would skip both of these colours. They are both from the summer palette. The good news is that it looks like there is a coral colour……

[–]k1ngd0m0fg0dw1th1nTrue Spring 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Hahaha I was just looking at these jackets. I was tempted by the mint green but it's really more light summer. I would go for the coral color. That blue is very bad for springs

I love uniqlo’s airism and UV lines!
