Color Palettes

Soft Autumn color palette

Soft Autumn is muted in chroma, warm-to-neutral in undertone and medium in value, so earthy, gently blended colors suit it best. Typical coloring includes skin with a golden-beige, soft olive or warm neutral cast across light to deep tones, hair in dark blonde, light-to-medium brown or soft auburn, and eyes in hazel, soft green, warm gray or soft brown, with low to medium contrast. Use this as a self-guided starting point.

Tips

Frequently asked questions

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

Muted, warm colors like sage, camel and terracotta make your skin look even, while black, pure white and neon shades overpower you. Gold usually looks softer and better than silver. If soft warm colors beat both bright and cool ones in a daylight test, Soft Autumn is likely.

What's the difference between Soft Autumn and Soft Summer?

Both are muted first. Soft Autumn leans warm and suits sage, camel and terracotta. Soft Summer leans cool and suits dusty rose, slate blue and gray.

Can Soft Autumn wear gray?

Yes, if it is a warm gray or greige. Cool blue-grays can look flat, while taupe and stone gray blend in nicely.

What lipstick suits a Soft Autumn?

Peachy nude, warm rose, terracotta and soft brick shades are the most flattering. Very bright fuchsia or icy pink usually looks harsh.
