“Alicia shows that Light Spring doesn't need much make-up when the colours are right” — Stina Lönnkvist, Colour analyst
Why Alicia Keys is a Light Spring
Light Spring colours are light and warm, never heavy or sharp. Alicia Keys suits, among others, peach, butter yellow, ivory, light turquoise and camel. Hard contrasts and dark, cool colours can weigh her down, while airy, warm tones let her shine. Black easily becomes too harsh against Light Spring's soft contrast; choose camel or warm taupe instead. Light gold lifts Light Spring the most.
Right & wrong colours
for Alicia
Flattering
The light peach silk shirt gives her face a glow, and the light, warm tone matches the season.
Why it works
- Warm
- Light
- Soft contrast
Less flattering
The black polo neck and the deep plum turban are too dark and cool and take the glow from her face. Lighter, warm tones would let her shine.
Why it doesn’t
- Cool
- Deep
- High contrast

Light Spring vs
Light Summer
It's easy to confuse Light Spring and Light Summer because both look light and fresh. Both seasons are light and relatively low-contrast. The difference is temperature: Light Spring is warm, while Light Summer is cool. Light Summer's colour palette features cool pastels with touches of blue and grey, while Light Spring's colours have more golden and peachy tones.
