Deep Autumn
Deep Autumn is the darkest of the autumn seasons. The coloring is deep first and warm second: dark brown or deep hazel eyes, dark brown to black-brown hair and golden, olive or deep skin. Contrast is medium to high. Rich, dark, warm colors make Deep Autumns look striking; light pastels wash them out.

Frequently asked questions
What colors should a Deep Autumn avoid?
Avoid light pastels, icy shades and dusty, greyed colors: baby pink, powder blue, lavender, light grey. They're too weak for deep coloring and make skin look sallow.
Can a Deep Autumn wear black or white?
Deep Autumn can wear black, especially warmed up with gold jewelry or a rich color nearby — though espresso and dark olive are even better. Choose warm cream over optic white.
What hair colors suit a Deep Autumn?
Dark chocolate, espresso, deep auburn and rich mahogany. Warm dark tones keep depth; avoid ash blonde and very light shades that erase contrast.
What's the difference between Deep Autumn and Deep Winter?
Both are deep and high-contrast. The difference is temperature: Deep Autumn leans warm (espresso, forest green, burnt orange), Deep Winter leans cool (black, navy, emerald, true red). If gold looks better on you than silver, you lean autumn.
What metals and jewelry suit a Deep Autumn?
Antique gold, bronze, copper and rich yellow gold. Chunky, textured metals and warm stones like garnet and amber suit Deep Autumns.
