True Autumn Seasonal Color Analysis

Warm Autumn : WARM & MUTED

Undertone

True Autumn, also called Warm Autumn, is the most classic and earthy palette within the Autumn season. Defined by warm and earthy undertones, rich saturation, and grounded, golden hues, this season reflects the natural beauty of autumn leaves, harvest fields, and glowing sunsets. 

Contrast

True Autumns typically have medium contrast between their skin, hair, and eyes. Their features appear rich, warm, and naturally blended, with skin, eyes, and hair flowing together harmoniously. While all their colors are gently blended, the skin typically appears lighter than the hair and eyes, creating a low to medium level of contrast. 

True Autumns display a grounded, golden warmth that makes deep, earthy colors appear effortless and flattering. The overall look is warm, rich, and naturally glowing, with a depth and vibrancy that complements bold, earthy shades.

Skin

True Autumn skin ranges from fair to dark, with warm or golden-neutral undertones. The complexion often has a healthy, sun-kissed appearance, with tones such as golden beige, warm ivory, caramel, olive, or rich bronze. Freckles are common and blend naturally with the overall warmth of the skin.

According to the classic metal test, Gold jewelry is the most flattering for True Autumns, enhancing the skin's rich, warm glow; while silver or cool-toned metals tend to dull the skin's natural warmth.

Eyes

True Autumn eyes are warm, rich, and expressive. Typical eye colors include warm green, golden brown, hazel, or amber, often with golden or earthy flecks. The eyes have a glowing, sunlit quality that complements the deep, warm shades of this palette. For detailed eye pattern analysis click here.

Hair

True Autumn hair is naturally rich and warm, contributing to the season's earthy, glowing appearance. Hair colors typically range from golden brown to deep chestnut, with copper, auburn, or warm medium brown tones being common. The hair reflects warmth and richness, often catching golden highlights in natural light. Compared to Soft Autumn, True Autumn's hair is deeper, more vibrant, and unmistakably warm.

True (Warm) Autumn Color Palette

Your color palette embraces the quintessential rich and golden-based autumn hues, known for their warmth and vibrancy. With a medley of golden greens, oranges, warm reds, and yellows, your palette exudes a vivid and lively presence.

Considering the low to medium contrast between your features, it's advisable to opt for monochromatic and analogous color combinations. This entails employing the same color in various shades (e.g., light green and dark green) or colors with similar undertones (e.g., orange and pink) that are closely positioned on the color wheel. You may also explore pairings of deeper neutrals with lighter, more opulent accent colors or juxtapose lighter neutrals with richer, darker accent shades.

True black and white are not included in your color palette as they possess cool undertones and tend to be either too light or dark for your complexion. However, your palette offers alternative options, including various brown and beige tones. Solely relying on neutrals may result in a somewhat subdued appearance.

Patterns & Prints & Fabric

Since your natural look has low to medium contrast, your patterns should reflect the same. Choose the same colours in your palette for your patterns and prints. Small to medium scale and light color patterns such as earthy elements, flowers, wood shapes and leaves would be excellent options for your natural look. Avoid too small or dense and sharp geometric patterns.

True Autumns look their best in fabrics that reflect the richness, warmth, and earthiness of their palette. Choose textured or softly structured materials that complement your natural glow. Ideal fabrics include suede, brushed cotton, corduroy, linen, wool, tweed, and soft leather. Rich, earthy prints, softly textured materials, and warm, solid tones work beautifully for this season.

Jewelry

Metals: For True Autumn, the most flattering metals are gold, copper, brass, and bronze, which enhance the palette's rich and warm coloring. Metals with a less reflective finish, such as hammered, oxidized, and antiqued, are ideal as they harmonize with True Autumn's muted appearance. Avoid shiny metals and cooler metals like silver, platinum, and white gold, which can clash with the natural warmth of True Autumn.

Gemstones: Amber is an excellent choice for True Autumn, with all its shades beautifully complementing the season's aesthetic. Other suitable gemstones include jade, citrine, peridot, orange sapphire, and carnelian, which offer yellow, green, and warm orange hues that align well with True Autumn's warm features. Additionally, using natural materials like wood in jewelry can also enhance the earthy and warm qualities typical of this season. •
