Seasonal Color Analysis
Autumn Color Palette
Autumn colors have that rich, warm essence we love about fall. With warm undertones and deep, muted colors, Autumn palettes range from earthy neutrals to vibrant warm accents. Think autumn leaves and golden light - it's all about that perfect balance between warmth and richness.
The Three Autumn Subseasons
Soft Autumn
The most muted subseason in the family — warm-leaning but greyed down, closer to Soft Summer than to True Autumn in intensity.
True Autumn
The warmest of the three — deep, earthy golden undertone with medium-to-full saturation and no grey mixed in.
Deep Autumn
The darkest and richest subseason — warm undertone carried at high depth, closer to jewel tones than earth tones.
Which Autumn Are You?
| Soft Autumn | True Autumn | Deep Autumn | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Undertone | Warm, but muted — can lean neutral | Warm, purest gold of the three | Warm, but depth dominates the read |
| Depth | Light-medium | Medium | Deep |
| Chroma | Very low, greyed | Medium, rich | Medium-high, rich |
| Best if... | Saturated warm colors look costume-y on you but pure cool colors look wrong too | You read as warm before anything else — golden or olive skin, warm brown or auburn hair | Your natural coloring is dark — deep brown or black hair, deeper skin — and pale colors wash you out |

Common Questions
What is an Autumn color palette?
Autumn covers three subseasons — Soft, True, and Deep — that share a warm undertone but differ mainly in depth and saturation. Soft Autumn is the most muted and greyed-down, True Autumn is the purest gold with medium richness, and Deep Autumn carries the same warmth at much higher depth, closer to jewel tones than earth tones.
How do I know which Autumn subseason I am?
Depth is the first signal: if your hair and skin are both dark, look at Deep Autumn first. If your coloring is warm but muted rather than rich — hair and skin closer in value, low contrast — that's more likely Soft Autumn. True Autumn sits in the middle: warm, medium depth, without the muting of Soft or the darkness of Deep. Because Soft Autumn and Soft Summer can look alike on paper, photo-based draping is worth doing before committing to either.
Can an Autumn wear black?
Black is too cool and too stark for any Autumn subseason — it flattens warm undertones and reads as harsh next to Autumn's earthy palette. Deep Autumn can handle something close to black, like espresso brown or bittersweet, but true black is off the palette for all three.
What's the difference between Soft Autumn and Deep Autumn?
They're on opposite ends of the same warm family. Soft Autumn is defined by low chroma — everything is muted and greyed down, even at lighter depth. Deep Autumn is defined by high depth — the colors can be much richer and more saturated because the person's natural coloring is dark enough to carry them without looking overdone.
