Autumn Color Theory
Warm, Rich, and Muted
Autumn colors are characterized by their warmth, richness, and muted quality. They reflect the golden light and changing leaves of the autumn season.
Color Characteristics
Autumn colors have warm golden or orange undertones and are typically rich and muted rather than bright or pastel. The palette includes terracotta, olive green, burnt orange, mustard yellow, and deep teal - all with an earthy quality that gives them depth and warmth.
Suitable For
Autumn colors typically complement individuals with warm, rich coloring. This often includes people with auburn, red, warm brown, or golden brown hair, skin with golden, peach, or olive undertones, and amber, hazel, or warm brown eyes.
Styling Tips
When styling with autumn colors, aim for rich, textured combinations. Mix colors of similar depth for a cohesive look. Autumn colors work beautifully in textured fabrics like tweed, leather, and suede, and in nature-inspired patterns.
Contrast with Other Seasons
Unlike Summer colors which are cool and soft, Autumn colors are warm and rich. They differ from Spring colors by being more muted and earthy, and from Winter colors by being warmer and less intense.
