Frequently Asked Questions About the Autumn Color Type

How can I identify if I am an Autumn color type?

Do a color test with bright pumpkin orange and soft moss green. If the pumpkin shade enhances your complexion and blends naturally with your skin tone, you are most likely an Autumn color type.

What are the best wardrobe essentials for an Autumn color type?

When building your wardrobe, choose warm neutrals such as camel brown, olive green, deep beige, and chestnut brown. Pair these with richer and deeper earthy tones like burnt orange, rust red, or mustard yellow to create a vibrant and cohesive look.

Can an Autumn color type wear black?

Black is not part of the Autumn color palette, as it may appear too harsh against the skin. Instead, opt for deep, warm browns like chocolate brown or dark taupe. If you wish to wear black, soften it by pairing it with warm shades such as mustard yellow, copper, or burnt orange. Also, avoid black in makeup, such as eyeliners and mascaras—warm brown or deep olive green are much more flattering alternatives.

What are the best colors for an Autumn color type in summer?

In the summer, it can be tempting to wear white, but instead, choose softer, warmer shades like peach, apricot, and light olive green. Soft, natural tones like light sandy beige and linen also work great for summer outfits.
