The Autumn Color Palette: A Guide to the 3 Autumn Subtypes

Autumn leaves are falling, the colours are magnificent. The Autumn Palette is warm, with gold undertones. The colors are earthy, woodsy, mossy, rich tangy and spicy!

How do I Know if I’m an Autumn?

People with the general autumn color season have darker, warmer eyes in colors like olive green, hazel, amber, golden brown, and occasionally dark chocolate brown. You may also have slightly greyish eyes. Their skin tones are also warmer, meaning that gold jewelry pops against their bodies, but silver makes them look a little washed out.

Autumn season people usually have fair, light, medium, tan, or dark skin tones, and their hair will usually have a golden, reddish, pinkish, or brown hint of color, such as golden blonde, auburn, medium auburn, light golden brown, medium brown, or dark golden brown.

The core values of the Autumn palette: Earthy, Rich, and Warm. We use this detailed colour wheel to identify your exact subtype by balancing clarity, warmth, and depth..

Autumn is the season when we embrace feeling cozy. We get to pull out our favourite bamboo scarves and wear tights with our favourite pairs of boots.

Wearing breathable bamboo cotton is perfect for layering, because you can easily take these styles into every season. When we discover our best colors, we can let go of wearing the newest trends in colours that are not complimentary to our natural beauty.

This is our Bamboo Fleece Cloak, paired with our high waisted Wide Leg Alice Pants. I love this combination of Rust with Burgundy. It really gives a cozy and earthy feel, very eco chic!

1. Dark/Deep Autumn

Dark autumn people have darker hair colors, such as dark brown, deep chestnut, dark auburn, or black with warmer undertones, such as gold. Your hair will have a golden, red or yellow halo around it in full sun. Your skin tone is probably more neutral with a slightly warmer undertone, ranging from golden beige to caramel, bronze to warm black, or golden fair to warm olive. You may have a few freckles and might be paler in the winter than in the summer, but you probably tan more than you burn. Deep autumns can have any eye colour, but most commonly warm browns and dark hazels. 

Harmonizing with Depth: Makeup Mastery for the Deep Autumn Palette

Coppers, reddish tones, olive and dark greens, and greenish or warmer blues, turquoise and warm purples will pop on your skin tone the most.

2. Warm/True Autumn

Warm autumns will have reddish hair colors, with clear, warm skin undertones. Your eye color will be amber, golden brown, a warm chocolate brown, or topaz. You will have an apparent golden glow to your complexion, not extremely pale.

Radiating Warmth: Makeup Artistry for the True Autumn Palette: warm browns, olive green, darker/greenish blues, and ivory all will make your skin, eyes, and hair pop.

3. Soft Autumn

Soft autumns have slightly mousy-colored, brown, or strawberry blonde hair with a very low contrast level. Your skin may be a little warm but will probably be neutral, and you will have a beige, ivory, latte, or warm olive skin tone that doesn’t seem to clash with your eyes, as does dark autumn. Your eye color will be neutral, too, with greyish hazel or light brown tones. 

The Muted Glow: Mastering Your Makeup and Palette as a Soft Autumn: medium, gentle tones of everything, including greys, blues, and purples. Think all the colours of autumn but slightly greyed out or muted. Mossy green shades as eyeshadow will look superb on you.
