Both are the most warm seasons; the split is chroma. Warm/True Autumn is warm + muted/rich (rust, olive, mustard); Warm/True Spring is warm + bright/clear (coral, turquoise, golden yellow). Compare both groups of colors repeatedly in consistent light; a mixed result can remain uncertain.

Borderline results are possible. Tonebook offers an estimated season from a selfie and shows confidence guidance and a nearby alternative. Compare fabrics in consistent daylight and keep the option that feels useful; a photo cannot settle this distinction definitively.
Hold a muted rust next to a clear coral. Notice whether muted rust or clear coral works better across several comparisons in consistent light. A repeated preference may point toward Warm/True Autumn or Warm/True Spring, respectively; close or mixed results can remain uncertain.
Tonebook reads one selfie, places you in the 12-season system, and builds outfits in your colors — with confidence guidance when the result is close. The free preview includes your season and up to 10 colors.
