Deep Autumn color palette
Warm-neutral and deep - dark, rich, spicy colour.
Deep Autumn sits between Autumn and Winter: warm-neutral undertones with deep colouring and higher contrast. Your colours are dark and rich - aubergine, forest green, brick and deep gold - warmth carried at full depth, where light, cool pastels simply disappear on you.
How Deep Autumn reads

Warm-neutral - warm-leaning, deep enough to carry a little coolness.
Depth & contrast
Deep overall, with medium-to-high contrast - your colouring has weight.
Best chroma
Rich and deep - dark, warm colours flatter; light pastels wash you out.

How to wear it
Wear deep, warm colour with confidence - forest green, brick or aubergine as the anchor, warmed with cream, chocolate or deep gold. Your colouring carries darkness well; it's light, cool pastels that leave you looking washed out.
For makeup, deep warm reds, bronzes and rich browns flatter; skip pale, cool and icy shades.
