Color analysis · Autumn
also called Deep Autumn
Depth first, warmth second. Dark Autumn shares its darkness with Dark Winter but keeps an earthy, golden undertone that Winter never has.

Most mistyping happens between adjacent seasons. These are the two most likely to be confused with Dark Autumn.
Dark Autumn or True Autumn? If deeper is better on you — espresso over camel — you're Dark Autumn.
Dark Autumn or Dark Winter? Both go deep. Hold black against espresso: if black looks crisp you're Dark Winter, if it looks flat and espresso looks richer you're Dark Autumn.
Depth with warmth underneath. It takes the darkest earth tones without looking heavy, but pastels and anything airy read as borrowed from someone else.
Nearly every season has a stronger version of black, white and gray. Swapping these three is the single change that makes a wardrobe look chosen rather than assembled.
This is the family with a genuine brown wardrobe, and the one that suffers most in cold gray. Tobacco, camel and espresso do work here that navy does elsewhere.
#2A3444#38332C#9E978A#7A7268#3E4030#2E2620Black sits against Autumn skin and pulls the warmth straight out of it, and optic white does the same in the opposite direction. This is the family for whom the substitution above is not a refinement but the main event: espresso and deep olive read as formal without the drain, and cream or oatmeal reads as clean without the glare.
Belt, shoes and strap sit in the same frame as your face all day. Matching their temperature to your coloring is the cheapest upgrade in a wardrobe.
The palette below is sorted the way clothes are actually bought: colors to wear weekly first, then the accents that work best in small doses against the neutrals above.
Deep brick and burgundy-brown lips, warm bronze blush, deep copper and forest eyes.
Hair color follows the same undertone and depth as the palette above, which is why a shade that flatters one Autumn can fall flat on another.
Chroma reads your coloring from a photo and drapes any palette color under your chin, so you can judge Dark Autumn against its neighbors on you rather than on a model.
