20 Spring color palettes to light up your designs
Let’s get into some spring color palettes you can use in designs, fashion, nails, or even hair color!

Bright spring color palettes add a lively, optimistic look to designs. Use the hues of spring flowers like bright mustard, orange, purple, and light hazel to capture the spirit of rebirth in the spring.
