INTRIGUING
SPRING COLOUR PALETTE
Soft, warm and quietly fascinating. Intriguing draws people in rather than shouting for attention.
Quick answer: Intriguing is a light, soft, warm palette in the 18-palette Absolute Colour System, like springtime in the mist. It suits people with light, warm colouring that is soft rather than bright. Charcoal replaces black, and a mix of gold and silver is the best metal.
Who the Intriguing palette is for
-
Hair: blonde, golden blonde, light brown, light copper or warm grey
-
Eyes: blue, green, hazel, olive, amber, teal, warm brown or deep grey, often with gold flecks
-
Skin: peach, true beige, warm or medium beige, or olive
-
Contrast: low to medium
The tell-tale sign: neutrals make you look drab, and black looks harsh. Soft coral or a buttery yellow makes you look rested.

Your Intriguing Questions, Answered
Fiona's Insight
Intriguing is my palette. I spent years in black and wondered why I looked tired. My rule now: repeat what's in your features. Blue eyes and peachy skin? Wear soft blue and coral, and you'll look like you, only brighter.
Intriguing FAQs
Is Intriguing warm or cool?
Warm, light and soft.
Can Intriguing wear black?
Charcoal is your black. It frames your face without the harshness.
Why do I mix gold and silver?
Your colouring is soft enough to wear both. Brushed finishes work best.
Neighbouring palettes: Exquisite (clearer), Spicy (more toasted), Sublime (cooler). Season: Spring.
