Bright Spring color palette
Also called Clear Spring
Bright Spring sits on the Spring–Winter border: mostly warm, but vivid and high-contrast, with eyes that stand out sharply against the skin.
The palette is saturated and clear — hot coral, bright turquoise, warm true red, golden yellow — with warm navy and true grey as anchors.
