Color Palettes

Deep Autumn color palette

Deep Autumn, also called Dark Autumn, is deep in value, warm-leaning in undertone and rich in chroma, so it looks best in dark, earthy jewel tones. Typical coloring includes skin with a warm or neutral-warm cast from light to very deep, dark brown to black hair often with warm reflections, and dark brown, deep hazel or olive green eyes. Use it as a self-guided starting point and check shades in natural light.

Tips

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I'm a Deep Autumn?

Dark, warm colors like espresso, forest green and burgundy make you look vivid, while pastels and icy colors look washed out. Gold usually suits you better than silver. If deep, warm, rich colors beat both light and cool ones in daylight, Deep Autumn is likely.

What's the difference between Deep Autumn and Deep Winter?

Both seasons are deep first. Deep Autumn leans warm and earthy, suiting espresso, olive and pumpkin. Deep Winter leans cool and crisp, suiting black, emerald and icy brights.

Is Dark Autumn the same as Deep Autumn?

Yes. Dark Autumn and Deep Autumn are two names for the same season, the deepest of the three autumns.

Can Deep Autumn wear black?

Many Deep Autumns can wear black, since it is close to their depth. Espresso or deep olive often looks a little softer and warmer next to the face.
