Spring family · between True Spring and Clear Winter on the wheel
Clear Spring color palette
Warm-leaning, vivid and crisp. 30 colors with hex codes, computed from where Clear Spring sits on depth, warmth and clarity.
Clear Spring sits where warm Spring meets icy Clear Winter on the wheel. It is the brightest of the warm seasons: clean coral, poppy red, warm turquoise and leaf green, kept light to mid in depth rather than dark.
In our model it reads warm-leaning (+1), a little light (−1) and as clear as the scale goes (+2). That high clarity is why dusty, greyed shades tend to look flat next to it, and why its colors to skip come from the soft, cool end of the wheel.

What colors suit a Clear Spring?
Warm-leaning, vivid and crisp colors: the 30 swatches above. Wear the stronger shades near your face and use the neutrals for big pieces like coats.
Can a Clear Spring wear black?
Black is darker than anything in this palette: the darkest neutral here is Espresso #322d27 (OKLCH lightness 0.30; black is 0). It sits better away from the face; espresso and bark are softer choices for a coat or a suit.
Are these hex codes exact?
They are computed, not copied: each color is sampled from this season’s box in the OKLCH color space (table above) and converted to sRGB. Screens differ, so judge fabric in daylight.
