Autumn: warm, rich and earthy

The autumn type is usually recognised by a warm, rich and somewhat muted appearance. Earthy colours with gold, copper, rust, olive and warm brown often suit naturally. See this as a direction: it is not one hair or eye colour that determines your type, but the overall picture and how colours react next to your face.

Autumn: warm, rich and earthy

How to recognise the autumn world

Autumn is mainly about warmth, combined with richness and softness. The natural colours of skin, hair and eyes often give a golden, coppery, olive or warm brown impression. Within the autumn family there are lighter, softer and deeper variants.

Huid

From light to deep: often with a golden, peach-gold, warm olive or bronze undertone. Freckles may occur but are not a requirement.

Haar

Often copper, auburn, warm chestnut, golden brown or dark warm brown. Very dark hair can also be autumn if the overall look stays warm.

Ogen

Common are hazel, amber, warm brown, olive green and warm green. Sometimes you see gold or rust-coloured nuances in the iris.

Contrast

Usually low to medium for soft/warm autumn types, but deep autumn can have noticeably more contrast. Warmth remains more important than darkness alone.

Fashion colours that enhance the autumn world

Choose mainly colours that feel warm, rich and natural. Think earth tones and deep, muted colours instead of icy pastels or very cool blues. Warm neutrals form a strong base and combine beautifully with deeper accent colours.

Haarkleuren

If you want to colour your hair, choose warm chestnut, copper, auburn, honey brown, golden brown or deep warm brown rather than ash blonde, cool brown or blue-black.

Sieraden & accessoires

Gold, bronze, copper, brass, cognac leather and warm tortoiseshell shades often suit beautifully. For glasses, warm brown, deep reddish brown, petrol and warm dark blue work well.

Liever vermijden

Cool, icy pastels, blue-pink, harsh pure white and very cool greys can make the face look flat more quickly. Black is not always the best base either; deep warm brown can look softer.

A colour type is a tool, not a rule

Seasonal colour analysis is a styling method, not an exact science. So always look at the effect on your own face in daylight. Are you between two colour worlds? Then a combination of both can look very natural.
