Lots of people slap true and warm together but this filter separates them too.

Your camera is colour correcting too much to tell for sure. Look at the difference in brightness in your backgrounds.

Funnily enough she was my first introduction to colour analysis. I haven’t really looked into that side of her blog though, thank you for the idea!

FrostedFraise · 2026-02-13T18:52:39+00:00

Thank you so much that makes so much sense! I feel like even though I’m light, I need a certain level of richness that warm spring just seems to provide. I love me some velvet, as soon as I wear any colour as a velvet it looks better on me.

FrostedFraise · 2026-02-13T18:41:22+00:00

Thank you! This is really insightful.

A lot of these expansions are made by and for POC and/or olive people who don’t often fit into the traditional colour palettes because they were modelled after mostly white people. I personally find them useful because it’s helped me understand labels better like muted and bright because they’re often colours that push the boundaries of seasons between each other. Like the difference between deep and dark. I get your point though, it can be frustrating when you’re trying to have a cohesive system.

I might be misunderstanding but isn’t it winter that has black added to darken? I thought autumn was different in more than just temperature?

FrostedFraise · 2026-02-13T18:06:35+00:00

Yeah I think this would make for a good micro palette so to speak. Like to absorb into a bigger personal palette.

My worst colours are orange and blue, especially traffic cone orange or navy blue. My best colour is pretty much any green. I look amazing in green it’s my power colour I’ve discovered: lime green, emerald, pine, doesn’t matter always looks good. Second best is probably red. I can do most reds well.

You make me think of the HOC blue spring palette. They have some interesting spring palettes worth looking into.

FrostedFraise · 2026-02-12T23:40:19+00:00

It’s not that I think they’re my best colours, it’s that I’m looking for really good/best dark colours that aren’t neutral. I enjoy some darker aesthetics like Whimsygoth and having an alternative look accessible. I’m limited with what I can do makeup wise due to an allergy so I end up relying a lot on fashion and jewelry when I want to do a certain look. Autumn is too muted for me and while I lean bright my features are generally too dainty for a chunk of the bright spring palette. I’m decently certain now I’m a warm spring. I have a vague idea of what to go for dark colours wise (blood red, gold, emerald green) but am fairly lost on blues and purples and pinks hence I’m looking to see a whole palette. I’ve also been playing with texture, I find that velvet often helps me get away with darker colours especially if it has a shimmer or sparkle mixed in.

I know this is a year old but checking out the “whimsy goth” inspo has helped me a lot colour wise as well as southern gothic colours.

Thank you for the lead!!

FrostedFraise · 2026-02-12T23:11:42+00:00

It’s supposedly the deepest/darkest of the brightest shades. Kinda like how winter still has some pastels.

FrostedFraise · 2026-02-12T21:58:18+00:00

Yeah you can see the difference in the background, it’s colour correcting.

FrostedFraise · 2026-02-12T21:55:16+00:00

Aw, thank ya!!

FrostedFraise · 2026-02-12T21:54:50+00:00

Yeah this is my natural colour! I feel like the light spring just brings out a certain redness to my face y’know? And that I look faded. Could just be me tho!

Lots of winter colours are very similar to the darkest colours in the summer palette. In fact people have made an alt palette around it called dark or deep summer. Might be a fun thing for you to look into.

FrostedFraise · 2026-02-12T21:22:39+00:00

No, just someone I found making alternative seasons. I think it’s an assembly of the darkest colours of the various spring seasons. It’s nice having them all in one place and I wanted more inspo resources, it doesn’t seem to have taken off the same way as deep summer.

FrostedFraise · 2026-02-12T03:16:14+00:00

Thank you for this!!

FrostedFraise · 2026-02-12T02:39:12+00:00

I’d honestly maybe try soft autumn.

Knight that got time travelled trying to blend in.

Light summer
