ライトスプリング vs ライトサマー
Light Spring and Light Summer share the same light, delicate overall coloring and low contrast. Many fair-skinned people with light hair bounce between these two types. The deciding factor is undertone: Light Spring has a warm golden glow, while Light Summer has a cool pink or rosy quality.

よくある誤診
ライトスプリングかライトサマーかを判断する際に、多くの人が犯しやすい間違いです。
- ⚠Confusing both types because of similar fair complexions — fair skin alone doesn't determine your season; undertone is the deciding factor
- ⚠Thinking that blonde hair automatically means Spring — ash blonde, platinum, and cool-toned blondes are actually Summer indicators
- ⚠Testing in warm artificial lighting which adds golden warmth to everyone, making Light Summers appear warm temporarily
セルフドレーピングテスト
自宅でこのカラー比較テストを試して、どのシーズンがあなたの自然な肌色に合うか確認しましょう。窓際の自然光で、ノーメイクで行ってください。
Place a warm peach fabric and a cool powder blue fabric alternately near your face in natural light. Light Spring will look radiant and alive with peach — their golden undertone is amplified. Light Summer will look washed out with peach but luminous with powder blue — the cool tone harmonizes with their pink undertone. For a secondary test, compare warm ivory and cool white paper: Light Spring's skin looks healthier against warm ivory; Light Summer's skin looks cleaner against cool white.
実際のコーディネート比較
それぞれのタイプが同じ日常カラーを着るとどうなるか——この違いがシーズンタイピングの重要性を示しています。
Both types try on a coral lipstick (warm) and a soft mauve lipstick (cool). Light Spring finds the coral makes their lips look naturally full and their skin glows — like they just came back from vacation. The mauve makes them look slightly drained. Light Summer finds the opposite: the mauve creates a natural, 'my lips but better' effect, while the coral makes their lips look orange and disconnected from their cool-toned face.

FAQ — ライトスプリング vs ライトサマー
How do Light Spring and Light Summer differ?
Both are light and low-contrast, but Light Spring has warm golden undertones while Light Summer has cool pink or rosy undertones. Light Spring looks best in warm pastels like peach and coral; Light Summer in cool pastels like powder blue and soft lavender.
I have fair skin and light hair — am I Light Spring or Light Summer?
Check your undertone, not just your depth. If you tan golden and look fresh in peach and warm pink, you are likely Light Spring. If you burn easily, have pink undertones, and glow in cool pastels, you are likely Light Summer.
Which colors should I avoid if I am between Light Spring and Light Summer?
Avoid colors that are clearly wrong for both — harsh black, dark navy, and heavy burgundy overwhelm both types. Instead, test warm ivory vs soft white near your face, and peach vs powder blue to determine your undertone direction.
