Best and Worst Colors for Autumn Types – 12 Season Color Analysis

Welcome to my 12 Season Color Theory series, which aims to break down the best and worst colors for your “color season,” or what we call your unique blend of hair and eye color, skin tone, and contrast.

Hair and Eye Color

You are likely to have medium brown hair or darker. If you are blonde, you are likely a darker honey blonde.

The Three Autumn Types

Within the Autumn category, there are three further subcategories of Autumn types. I’ve written a post on each of these types and created an easy shopping guide so you can find the colors to get (and the colors to avoid) for your color season.

Cool Skin Tone

You tend to look best in bright, striking jewel tones. So, while you should steer clear of an orange and yellow autumn color palette, you can still get in the fall spirit with a true red or a deep purple. And after fall has come and gone, a winter white as pure as the driven snow should be your go-to.

Warm Skin Tone

You are a pumpkin-spiced queen who was made to rock a traditional autumn color palette. Go for earthy hues that remind you of all things fall (think autumn leaves and pumpkin patches). Red, orange, and yellow are all within your wheelhouse, as long as you stick to the warmer end of the spectrum – golden yellow, brick red, or anything brown.

Neutral Skin Tone

If you’re not sure whether your skin tone is warm or cool, you’re probably a neutral – which means you can pull off any color on the wheel, as long as it’s somewhat muted.

Soft Autumn – Best and Worst Colors to Wear
