Depending on where you fall on the True Autumn spectrum, you can borrow some colours from your sister palettes since they are close enough to the True Autumn colour palette. Even though the True Autumn palette leans towards the darker end, true black a Winter colour is not the best colour for you since it is too dark, cool and harsh.
In its place, you have dark browns and very dark, slightly-olive greens. These are the best the dark neutrals for True Autumn.
The best versions of white another Winter colour for True Autumn are slightly yellowed off-whites that are warmer than pure white. Variations of beige, cream, and ecru are also on the palette. You can use these as light neutrals. Apart from white and black, other cool and bright, such as pastel pink or ice blue, will clash with your natural warmth and richness and will make you look off. Extremely bright and vibrant colours, such as intense pinks and blues, will also swallow up your naturally muted colouring.
Technically, you can combine any of the colours on the True Autumn palette with each other. But certain combinations will look much better than others. Those are the combinations that repeat the level of contrast that is naturally present in your appearance. It is also important to achieve the rich look that True Autumns naturally have. Therefore, the best colour combinations for your outfits are those that have a pop of colour here and there.
To achieve a lower level of contrast, pair colours that resemble each other in hue or value. Monochromatic combinations, which combine different shades of one hue, such as light green with a darker green, are flattering. But as a True Autumn, you can even take on more contrast than that.
Feel free to pair neighbouring hues with similar values, such as a medium orange with a medium pink. Another option is to pair a darker neutral with a lighter, richer accent colour, such as a medium brown with a mustard yellow. Similarly, you can pair lighter neutrals with rich, darker accent colours. Although these combinations have a degree of contrast, they are not highly contrasting.
Avoid extreme contrast, especially combinations of colours that sit opposite each other on the colour wheel, such as blue and orange. These combinations will swallow you up. Neutrals-only combinations may also look rather bland on you. If you are thinking of incorporating some patterns and prints into your wardrobe, consider the following:. The best patterns are those that only contain True Autumn colours — like in the first example below. If a pattern contains some but not much colour from a disharmonious palette — like in the second example, you can also wear it.
The last example contains too much of a disharmonious colour a True Winter pink, which is cool and bright. Avoid this pattern. Since your natural colouring has low- to medium-contrast, opt for patterns that reflect this natural contrast level rather than ones which are too bold. There are hundreds of shades that fall between the colors in your color swatch - just like an artist's palette!
All colors come and go on the fashion scene but once you get used to the shades you will find that there are versions of your colors around every season. Although initially the Autumn palette appears to be lacking in deep toned neutrals you will soon see that many of the stronger colors can be used for your wardrobe essentials. Sometimes it's easier to find versions of grey or navy than dark brown, but in other seasons you'll find that rust, chestnut or bronze are bang up to the minute.
Marine navy or navy with a hint of teal are more stylish than a flat navy; and lizard or mole bring more interest than a plain charcoal grey. Apart from the neutrals, mustards, teals and coral shades are making a huge statement at the moment.
Autumn coloring looks amazing when you wear several variations of one color together rather than completely opposing colors.
When you wear variations of one color top to toe it's called 'monochromatic'. If you're already wearing a couple of Autumn colors - try adding in a third tonal shade with a jacket or scarf to see the magic happen.
Think of a tree with it's Autumn foliage, every leaf may be a different tone but the 'whole' is a work of art! Your brighter accent colors are ready to bring you to life.
It may be a top, scarf or statement necklace that brings a glow to your complexion. However simply you choose to dress, a brightly colored scarf to jeans and a t-shirt will always add a touch of confidence.
Accessories can add another layer of texture and pop of color to an otherwise subtle outfit. But when exposed to the sun, it may develop golden highlights.

The colouring remains around a medium value. Both colour seasons are very similar, and the distinctions are subtle. Subtype test If you are unsure whether your appearance is warmer or cooler, there is an easy way to find out: In natural daylight and without makeup, hold something grey to your face.
If your eyes seem greyish even if they are greenish or have brown blotches , then you are likely a Soft Summer; if they remain green, hazel, or olive, then you lean more towards Soft Autumn. Why is that? As mentioned before, Soft Summer has a high content of grey pigments, which tones down the colours of their natural appearance. Soft Autumn colours contain more walnut, beige, and gold pigments, and therefore the eyes cannot appear grey. Soft Autumn is the colour season reminiscent of hazy days.
The last summer sun rays touch the earth and create gentle, earthy Autumn landscapes with intricate nuances. These colours are delicate and mysterious. They are the colours of nuts and seeds and the first fields ready to harvest.
Soft Autumn combines low chroma with warmth. Thus, the Soft Autumn colour palette is the original Autumn palette with some of the intensity removed. There is little contrast between the colours. However, as part of the Autumn family and due to the gentle warmth in the colours, the overall effect of the Soft Autumn palette is rich, soft and inviting. The best colours for this season are gentle and neither too cool nor too warm. This means the palette lacks colours such as the oranges of True Autumn or the darker colours from the Dark Autumn palette.
Instead, the palette includes more gentle colours, such as olive greens and delicate reds and pinks. This means they contain more yellow than blue undertones. Consequently, you will find fewer shades of blue which is the coolest colour of all on the palette. And you will only see warmer shades of blue, like turquoise, that have a tint of yellow.
Instead, there are more yellows, greens, and warm browns that are naturally yellow-based. The colour palette is medium in value; meaning neither light nor dark colours dominate it.
While there are lighter and darker colours, most of the colours cluster around the middle of the value scale. Due to its primary colour aspect, this Soft Autumn has the least tolerance for brightness. Consequently, its colours are low in chroma and are not saturated at all. It falls at the Summer end of the Autumn palette. Once you come to understand the deep, rich autumn color palette, though, you may wonder why you ever wore anything else.
As British clothing retailer Kettlewell explains, there isn't just one type of autumn. If you are a true, or a "leaf" autumn, both your own coloring skin, hair, and eyes may reflect the colors of the season itself — perhaps you have green or green-flecked hazel eyes like a moss-covered tree, or some reddish highlights in your hair like autumn leaves, or skin that tans to the shade of a golden aspen's leaves.
The colors you should wear should neither be too bright nor too pale. Rather than fire engine red, think rusty reds shading into chestnut brown.
For greens, you should stick with medium olive or mossy shades. You can also wear blue, as long as you pick a greenish peacock, but you're one of the few that can pull off a mustard yellow and look good in the color. Instead of pure white, you'd do better to keep to a very light tan or sandy shade, and the darkest tones you should use in your wardrobe would be chocolate brown and dark olive.
