Lets see...
spring ... yellow lavender pink and mint green....I guess that's why I don't
make Spring table runners etc!
summer...grass green, bright sky blue, red and ?
fall....gotta be the easiest...orange, purple, dark green, and rusty red
winter, icy blues, shades of white and grays and maybe red for the
cardinals!
Not quite within the boundaries you asked...but close!

What a cool question! I'll answer then check everyone else's answers.


Autumn is easiest: burgundy, tawny orange, dark muted green against an
espresso brown background.


Winter is the hardest: Maybe bright sky blue, clear light grey, off
white on a charcoal grey background.


Last spring I went around with a camera to capture the colors. Limiting
it to 3 and a background is the hard part. How about periwinkle blue,
pink and lavender on a medium green background? But that leaves out
that bright lime green color that would be obnoxious anywhere else but
on spring is so welcome it's a joy.


You normally think of red and green as Christmas colors, but I think of
them as summer. I'm thinking a deep tomato red, and 2 greens against a
green background, maybe a bright green and a medium green on a dark
green background?

Colors that make me think of a season.........I can't pick just 3
spring-canary yellow, sky blue, spring green, and pure white
summer-aqua and other blues that remind me of water, sea foam green,
grass green, bright red, and sand
autumn-burgundy, brown, orange, pale yellow, dark green, off white,
and gold
winter-a range of blues with the darkest being midnight blue, gray,
and white

Debra in VA

Winter: Sage green, light cream, barn red

Spring: Lilac, yellow, spring green

Summer: icy blue, deep green, white

Fall: purple, deep pumpkin orange, pine green

LOL, my answers are going to be strange, since I am a desert rat born in
Arizona.......
Spring: bright green, beige background (sandy color), creamy white,
lighter orangy yellows.
Summer: Hot colors: Red, oranges, yellows, think sunshine and heat.
Autumn: browns, golds, dark adobe red, some purple
Winter: Cool purples, blues, dark green, browns, maybe white/almost white.

Like I said, different from probably most areas of the world.
