“Laura's light, subtly warm tones are a perfect fit for Light Spring” — Stina Lönnkvist, Colour analyst

Why Laura Linney is a Light Spring

Light Spring colours are light and warm, never heavy or sharp. Laura Linney suits, among others, light coral, peach, butter yellow, sky blue and warm light pink. Hard contrasts and dark, cool colours like black and navy can make her look paler, sterner and older, and so can dark hair, while airy, warm tones make her skin glow. Her soft golden hair is a big asset. Light gold and rose gold lift Light Spring the most.

Right & wrong colours for Laura

Flattering

The light coral dress makes her skin glow and her blue-grey eyes look brighter, and the airy, warm colour matches the season.

Why it works

  • Warm
  • Light
  • Soft contrast
Laura Linney – Less flattering

Less flattering

The dark, slicked-back hair and black polo neck make her look paler, sterner and older, and her glow fades. Soft golden hair and a light, warm colour would have lifted her.

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.
