Brighter shades are usually best worn as a small accent in a tonal look. When it comes to colour combing, the classic Autumn technique of layering up similar colours is usually your best look - taupes and soft purples, or soft greens and teals, for instance. Soft Autumn’s colours are usually those which look like they might just belong to summer - clay or brown toned pinks, soft purples, greyed teals and warm taupes. Soft Autumn falls at the coolest, softest end of the Autumn palette, and if you viewed all four seasons as one continuous spectrum of colour, then Soft Autumn’s colours would fall nearer to Summer than Winter or Spring.

Whatever their skintone or eye colour, there is generally very little contrast between hair, skin and eye colour (a black and white photo would show no extremes in colouring). Soft Autumns very often look like they might be Summers, with ashy toned hair and soft grey, blue or grey-hazel eyes. The dominant tonal direction for this seasonal sub-type is Warm, so you can visit Shop by Colour and filter for the Warm dominant tonal direction for more colours which you might love (if you want to read more about how tonal directions relate to seasons, this post is a great starting point).Īlso known as a Soft Blue Autumn, the most dominant characteristic of Soft Autumn is the soft, tonal look they hold, more than the depth or warms of Autumn (which they also hold, but to a lesser degree). While most Autumns suit tonal looks when combining colours, your tendency to sit towards the Spring end of the Autumn palette can mean that you prefer a little more contrast in your look, often by combining unexpected vibrant colours rather than through light and dark contrast.
Warm Autumn’s best colours are usually warm greens, yellows, orangey reds, very peachy (yellowed) pinks and every shade of golden brown from warm chocolate tones through to light tan. Warm Autumn falls at the very warmest, most yellow toned end of the Autumn palette, and if you viewed all four seasonal palettes as one continuous spectrum of colour, then Warm Autumn colours would fall nearer to Spring (which shares warmth with Autumn) than to Winter or Summer. Eye colours is often green, blue or light hazel, and whatever their skin colour, they have a real golden warmth to their look when wearing the right colours. Warm Autumns often (again, not always) have a real warmth to their hair, with red or auburn tones even with brown or blonde hair.
Brighter shades are usually best worn as an accent in a tonal look.Īlso known as Vibrant Autumn (which can be used as something as a catch all phrase for Autumns who need more saturation, so it’s possible to be a Vibrant Autumn and also sit in the Deeper end of the Autumn palette), the most noticeable characteristic of Warm Autumns is the warmth in their skin, hair and eye colour, although they still retain a small degree of Autumn’s softness and depth of colouring too. When it comes to colour combining, the classic Autumn technique of layering up similar colours is usually your best look - browns and rusts, or greens and yellows, for instance. They heavily feature warm mustard yellows and mossy greens, alongside mid tone browns and rusts, and they all share that equal balance of warmth, depth and softness that you also hold. They are, unsurprisingly, the most definitively Autumn colours. You still have your own very best core of colours though.
True autumn color full#
This means that it isn’t often helpful to add a tonal direction to the shopping filter on the Shop by Colour page, as adding in colours from other seasons rarely helps you - simply choose from the full Autumn palette and you’ll never go far wrong! The flip side is that you look the best in the widest range of Autumn colours, as you really do sit bang in the middle of this palette. Their skin tone can be deeper, and there is very a warm golden glow to non-Caucasian skin tones when flattered by their best colours.īecause you sit right in the middle of the Autumn palette - there there is no ‘leaning’ towards any of the other three seasons, by being deeper, softer, warmer or cooler - the best colours for True Autumns are, simply the colours of the Autumn palette! Cheating on your palette by shopping from colours in another palette is never going to work as well for you as one of the other types of Autumns, who can push into their neighbouring season. True Autumns often (although not always!) look like the ‘classic’ Autumn - they can have warm brown or red hair, hazel or green eyes, and very often have pink cheeks. Also called Autumn Leaf, the True Autumn person (and their palette) has an even mix of Autumns warm, soft and deep characteristics.
