Understanding the 3 Sub-Seasons of the Autumn Season in Colour Analysis
Autumn is a rich, warm, and earthy season in colour analysis, characterized by deep, muted tones that complement individuals with warm undertones. The Autumn season is divided into three distinct sub-seasons: Deep Autumn, Soft Autumn, and Warm Autumn. Each of these sub-seasons has its own unique set of colours that enhance the natural beauty of individuals, helping them select hues that highlight their features in the most flattering way.
Disclaimer:
Please note that these are general guidelines based on common characteristics associated with each sub-season. Everyone is unique, and it is possible to have any eye colour or hair colour and still fall into any of the Summer sub-seasons. Colour analysis is a personal process that takes into account multiple factors beyond just eye and hair colour, including undertones, contrast levels, and overall complexion. For the most accurate results, it is best to have a colour analysis done by a professional.
Deep Autumn individuals have warm undertones and bold, intense features. This sub-season is characterized by individuals with deep, rich colouring that can carry off darker, more saturated colours with ease. Deep Autumn’s palette consists of warm, earthy tones that have depth and richness, mirroring the colours of autumn leaves.
Key Characteristics of Deep Autumn:
- Skin Tone: Warm undertones, ranging from medium to deep with golden or olive undertones.
- Hair: Dark brown, dark chestnut, or deep auburn hair, often with a rich, warm undertone.
- Eyes: Dark brown, deep green, or hazel eyes with golden flecks.
- Deep, Warm Neutrals: Rich chocolate brown, deep teal, and warm grey work beautifully with Deep Autumn features.
- Earthy Tones: Olive green, mustard yellow, and burnt orange enhance the warm undertones.
- Rich Jewel Tones: Deep emerald green, maroon, and rich burgundy highlight the intensity of this sub-season.

Soft Autumn individuals have a soft, muted appearance, with warm undertones that are not as intense as those found in Deep Autumn. This sub-season features individuals with gentle, subtle colouring, and the palette is full of soft, earthy tones that reflect the changing season. Soft Autumns look best in colours that are slightly muted and have a warm, natural feel.
Key Characteristics of Soft Autumn:
- Skin Tone: Warm undertones with a soft or neutral appearance, often fair to medium.
- Hair: Medium to dark brown or soft auburn hair with a muted, warm undertone.
- Eyes: Soft hazel, green, or warm brown eyes.
- Soft, Muted Neutrals: Warm beige, soft taupe, and light camel are perfect for Soft Autumns.
- Earthy, Dusty Colours: Dusty rose, olive green, and soft moss green look great in this palette.
- Warm, Muted Jewel Tones: Soft mustard, rust, and muted plum are flattering, providing warmth without overwhelming the features.
Warm Autumn individuals have a golden, sun-kissed complexion with warm undertones that are lighter and more vibrant. This sub-season thrives in warm, clear colours that reflect the golden hues of autumn. Warm Autumn individuals can wear rich, vibrant colours that enhance their warmth, giving them a fresh and radiant appearance.
Key Characteristics of Warm Autumn:
- Skin Tone: Warm undertones (golden, peach, or apricot), often fair to medium.
- Hair: Golden blonde, auburn, or rich coppery red hair.
- Eyes: Warm brown, amber, or golden green eyes.
- Bright, Warm Neutrals: Warm beige, creamy ivory, and soft caramel are perfect for this sub-season.
- Golden Yellows & Oranges: Marigold, pumpkin, and burnt orange bring out the warmth in the complexion.
- Earthy Reds & Greens: Warm reds, terracotta, and olive green work harmoniously with the warm undertones.
Warm Autumn individuals should avoid cool, icy colours like lavender or icy blues, as they can wash out their warm complexion. Instead, they should embrace warm, golden hues that reflect the colours of fall and enhance their natural warmth.
Determining your Autumn sub-season is an exciting way to discover which colours will flatter your natural features. Here’s how to identify your sub-season:
- Look at Your Skin Undertone: Are you warm, golden, or olive-toned? This will help guide you toward your correct sub-season.
- Examine Your Hair Colour: Is your hair rich and deep, light and golden, or somewhere in between? This will narrow down your sub-season.
- Assess Your Eyes: Do you have deep, dark eyes, or do you have lighter, more golden eyes? This can also provide insight into your sub-season.
Once you've identified which Autumn sub-season you belong to, you can build a wardrobe that aligns with your natural colouring and enhances your features. Whether you’re drawn to the rich depth of Deep Autumn, the muted softness of Soft Autumn, or the golden warmth of Warm Autumn, selecting the right colours can make a dramatic difference in how you look and feel.
Conclusion: Autumn colour analysis allows you to explore a palette of deep, warm, and earthy colours that complement your natural undertones and features. Whether you’re a Deep, Soft, or Warm Autumn, embracing the colours of your sub-season can enhance your appearance, create a more flattering wardrobe, and boost your confidence. With the right colours, you'll look vibrant, radiant, and effortlessly stylish in every season.
