True Autumn / Warm Autumn Color Palette

True Autumn, also known as Warm Autumn or Warm Fall, is the warmest of all twelve seasons. Its palette is pure spice: pumpkin, burnt orange, mustard, ochre, moss and olive, grounded by camel and chocolate.

Where Soft Autumn is blended and Deep Autumn is dark, True Autumn is defined by one thing — golden warmth. Every color, from the blues to the neutrals, has a yellow base.

Wear with care

Colors True Autumn should wear with care

    Try instead: Tomato

    Cool pinks clash with golden skin; tomato or salmon give the same brightness.

  • Wear with care: Icy gray
    Try instead: Sand

    Cool light neutrals look drab; sand and cream are the True Autumn lights.

  • Wear with care: Black
    Try instead: Chocolate

    Black looks harsh; chocolate or espresso are softer and warmer.

  • Wear with care: Lavender
    Try instead: Warm Aubergine

    Cool purples look gray. If you love purple, choose warm aubergine.
