How to recognize a True Autumn
True Autumn characteristics: warm, rich and earthy
True Autumn is the most distinct autumn type. Your appearance has a clearly warm, golden undertone and a rich, earthy look. Cool or bright colors quickly make you look pale; warm, rich shades make your face glow.
01
Undertone
Warm. A distinct golden, peachy or olive glow.
02
Skin
Light to medium, golden beige or warm olive, often with freckles. Tans to a golden color.
03
Hair
Copper red, chestnut, golden brown or dark blonde with a warm sheen.
04
Eyes
Warm and rich: golden brown, hazel, amber or warm green.
05
Contrast
Medium. Your colors are rich and warm, without harsh contrast.
These are characteristics that are common in a True Autumn. You don't have to match every point exactly: your combination of skin, hair and eyes is unique. Not sure? Have your colors analyzed personally.

Warm. True Autumn is the warmest autumn type and sits between Soft Autumn and Dark Autumn. That's why warm, rich and earthy colors suit you best.
Can I wear black as a True Autumn?
Preferably not, black is too cool and too harsh for your warm colors. Choose chocolate brown, dark olive or a warm navy instead. Wearing black anyway? Then combine it with gold or a warm color near your face.
Does gold or silver suit me better?
Gold, copper and bronze suit you best. Brass and antique gold are beautiful too. Silver and cool steel are usually too cool.
