This optimistic and cheerful colour is great to add a bit of playfulness to the Spring season.

Yellow is a colour that represents the sun, so it will defiantly be keeping you shining throughout the spring. 

Poppy Red

 
Red is known as a bold, passionate colour and is great to add a bit of warmth to the Spring months. Poppy red  works great with ivory and black, but be sure to make the Red your colour statement.  It is vibrant and sexy, working well with all skin tones.
