Soft Autumn color palette
Warm-leaning and muted — sand, sage, and late-afternoon light.
Who is a Soft Autumn?
Soft Autumns are muted and warm-leaning. Warm mid-brown or dark blonde hair, hazel, soft green, or warm grey eyes, and neutral-warm skin that tans easily but softly. Everything about your coloring is blended and gentle.
Signs you might be a Soft Autumn
- Black looks heavy on you; chocolate brown looks right
- Terracotta and warm nude lipstick look natural; fuchsia does not
- Bright white makes you look faded; cream makes you glow
- Antique gold suits you better than shiny gold

Colors a Soft Autumn should avoid
These come from your opposite season, Bright Winter. They pull your face in the wrong direction on every axis: neutral-cool where you are neutral-warm, medium where you are medium.

Not sure between seasons?
The other Autumn seasons share your warmth but differ in depth or clarity: True Autumn and Deep Autumn. Your opposite is Bright Winter. The fastest way to settle it is to see your own face on both.
