RADIANT
SPRING & AUTUMN COLOUR PALETTE

Warm, bright and joyful. Radiant is the palette that walks into a room already smiling.

​

Quick answer: Radiant is a warm, bright, medium-depth palette in the 18-palette Absolute Colour System. It suits people with golden or warm colouring and clear, bright eyes. Brown replaces black, and clear gold is the best metal. As the medium-value warm palette, Radiant sits in both Spring and Autumn.

​

Who the Radiant palette is for

You're likely Radiant if your colouring is warm and clear rather than soft or smoky:

• Hair: red, copper, strawberry blonde, dark golden blonde, burnished red, brown or brunette

• Eyes: clear and bright: topaz, hazel, clear blue, clear green, brown or olive green, often with gold flecks

• Skin: ivory, golden, golden peach, warm or true beige, or light olive

• Contrast: medium

The tell-tale sign: black makes you look tired, but a coral or warm turquoise top makes people ask if you've been on holiday.

​

Hair colour for Radiant

Radiant hair should look sunlit. Golden brown, honey, caramel, copper and warm auburn all keep your skin glowing. Ask your hairdresser for golden or copper tones, not ash.

​

Avoid ash brown, flat black and icy platinum. They drain the warmth from your face and make your eyes look duller.
