What to ask your colourist for
Bring the hex codes above, and ask for a tone on the warm/golden side. Depth matters as much as tone: golden blonde to bright warm brown, often with strong natural contrast against skin.
If you are covering grey, ask for a shade one level lighter than your natural depth — full-depth coverage on greying hair usually reads harsher than the colour looked on the chart.

Frequently asked
What hair colour suits a Bright Spring?
bright golden blonde, warm honey, clear warm brown, bright auburn and rich chestnut. The principle: stay within a couple of shades of your natural depth and keep the undertone on the warm side. Going far outside either is what makes dyed hair look like a wig.
Can a Bright Spring go blonde?
It is the hardest change for this season to pull off, because Bright Spring colouring is built on depth. If you want to go lighter, go a few shades at a time and keep the undertone warm — a full platinum will usually flatten the face.
Does hair colour change my season?
Not fundamentally. Your season is set by skin undertone, which dye does not touch. But dye absolutely changes your contrast level, and contrast is one of the three axes — so a naturally dark-haired person who goes blonde may find that a lighter version of their palette suits them better day to day.
