Am I a Warm Spring or a Warm Autumn?
If coral, golden yellow, warm turquoise and clear orange make your face look bright and fresh, you are closer to Warm Spring. If rust, mustard, olive and pumpkin do that and clear colours look loud on you, you are closer to Warm Autumn. If both work, you sit between the two: shared warm neutrals like camel and warm teal are safe.
What they share: warmth
Both seasons suit golden, yellow-based colours and gold metals. Icy pastels, cool greys and blue-based pinks look out of place on both.
Warm Spring: warm and clear
Coral, golden yellow, warm turquoise, salmon, clear orange and fresh moss green.
Warm Autumn: warm and earthy
Rust, mustard, olive, pumpkin, brick and chocolate, with a little earthiness in every colour.

Which of the two are you closer to?
Four quick questions to answer in daylight. They point you toward one of the two; a photo settles it.

Find out from a photo in the app which of the two you are →Three steps for a fair comparison
- 01
In daylight, hold clear coral and then rust under your chin. The one that makes your skin glow rather than look flat or overpowered points to your side.
- 02
Compare warm turquoise with olive. Warm Spring skin looks livelier with turquoise; Warm Autumn skin looks richer with olive.
- 03
Compare golden yellow with mustard. If two of the three tests point the same way, that is your season of the pair.
Why these two are easy to confuse
Warm Spring and Warm Autumn are neighbours on the twelve-season wheel. Their strongest quality is the same, warmth, and both suit gold. What differs is whether the colours are clear and bright or muted and earthy.
That difference is easy to miss in a questionnaire and easy to see in a mirror, with a clear and a muted warm colour held side by side.
Three colour pairs to compare
Hold each pair under your chin in daylight and choose the colour that makes your skin look even and your eyes bright.
- Coral or rust: coral points to Warm Spring, rust to Warm Autumn.
- Warm turquoise or olive: turquoise points to Warm Spring, olive to Warm Autumn.
- Golden yellow or mustard: golden yellow points to Warm Spring, mustard to Warm Autumn.
When you sit between the two
Then the warm neutrals both palettes share, such as camel, warm teal, terracotta and cream, are the easiest colours near your face; keep very clear or very earthy shades for accents.
A photo-based analysis compares your colouring with both palettes. When a photo cannot decide, the app shows both seasons so you can compare their palettes on the same photo.
