What defines the Warm Autumn palette
Warm Autumn (True Autumn) is the warmest of the autumns. Hair is auburn, copper, or rich warm brunette; eyes are warm brown, hazel, or olive green; skin has a deep golden undertone. Your colors are rich, warm, and earthy—rust, mustard, olive, deep teal, pumpkin—everything looks like an October afternoon.
The palette sits where medium depth, warm undertone, and medium contrast meet. In practice that means warm, rich, golden colors — never too stark, never too flat.

Common mistakes with this palette
- Mixing in the avoid list. Even one pastels piece near the face can make your skin look tired. Keep the face-adjacent layer (shirt, scarf, lipstick) firmly inside the palette; let wrong-season colors live in trousers and shoes where they don't cast onto skin.
- Going too literal. The swatches are anchors, not the only acceptable colors. Anything in the same family — same depth, same undertone, same level of saturation — is safe. Deviate in one dimension at most.
- Ignoring metal. Warm gold, bronze, and brass flatter this palette; stark silver can look cold against skin.
