True Autumn
Also called Warm Autumn.
True Autumn is the warmest season of all: golden, earthy colouring. Rich warm colours suit it, like rust, mustard, olive, terracotta and teal, while cool pastels and icy colours wash it out.
- Temperature: warm
- Depth: medium
- Intensity: medium
How to tell if you are a True Autumn
- Skin: Golden, peachy or bronze; tans easily.
- Hair: Auburn, copper, golden brown or chestnut.
- Eyes: Brown, amber, hazel, or warm green.

Colours best avoided
- Cool Pastel Pink: Light and cool, it erases your richness instead of matching it.
- Silver Grey: It lacks the warmth your undertone needs.
- Ice Blue: Its cool paleness dulls the gold in your skin.
Metals: best in gold and copper and bronze; less so in silver.
How to build your wardrobe
Chocolate brown, olive and camel as neutrals instead of black and grey. Gold jewellery and earthy colours near the face.
Seasons it is often confused with
- True Spring: True Spring is warm too, but brighter and lighter.
- Dark Autumn: Dark Autumn is deeper and handles darker colours.
