What are spring colours?
Like the season itself, spring colours are often light, bright and natural. The trending colours of the season reflect the warm weather and new life of the season, natural greens and bright or pastel colours. Wearing lighter colours has a practical effect in warmer weather, as light colours reflect heat and help keep you cool.
Green
All shades of green lend themselves well to the season of spring. Green is a fitting colour for the season of new life when all of the plants and trees come back to life.
Fresh green tones reflect nature and new growth, making them ideal for spring outfits.
