Deep Autumn color palette
Deep Autumn is a warm-leaning, deep color season. The colors that suit it are rich and earthy: chocolate, rust, forest green, deep teal, burgundy, mustard and tomato red. Deep Autumns can carry dark, saturated colors well and look washed out in pastels, cool greys and icy tones.

Are you a Deep Autumn?
Deep Autumn is warm-neutral, deep and rich. You're likely one if most of these are true:
- Your hair is dark brown, black-brown or a deep auburn.
- Your eyes are dark brown, deep hazel or dark olive-green.
- Your skin has a warm or neutral-warm undertone, from golden beige to deep bronze.
- There's medium to high contrast, mostly from dark hair and eyes.
- Pastels make you look washed out, while rust and forest green make you look healthy.
- Black
- Black can work, but espresso, chocolate or warm charcoal usually look richer and softer on Deep Autumn.
- White
- Stark white is too cold. Warm cream or ivory sits better against your skin.
- Jewelry and metals
- Gold, bronze, copper and antique brass.
What to wear as a Deep Autumn
Headshots
For a LinkedIn headshot, an espresso, chocolate or deep olive blazer over a warm cream or rust top looks rich and confident. A warm dark-brown or deep teal backdrop with golden, directional light suits Deep Autumn's depth.
Dating photos
For dating photos, try a rust or mustard knit, a forest-green shirt or an oxblood dress in golden-hour light. Rich, warm settings like brick, wood and low sun bring out your coloring.
Christmas photos
For Christmas photos, Deep Autumn wears classic holiday colors well: tomato red, forest green, oxblood and gold. Fireside or candle-style warm light is a natural fit.

Deep Autumn, answered
Rich, warm, deep colors: chocolate, rust, forest green, deep teal, oxblood, mustard and tomato red.
Light, cool or icy colors: pastel pink, icy blue, cool grey, fuchsia and stark white.
Yes, better than most autumns, but espresso and chocolate usually look richer and less severe.
Both are deep. Deep Autumn leans warm (rust, olive, gold jewelry), Deep Winter leans cool (emerald, sapphire, true red, silver jewelry). If orange and mustard flatter you, you're more likely Deep Autumn.
