Dark Autumn

Dark Autumn (also called Deep Autumn) is defined by depth. Your coloring is dark and warm-leaning, and light pastels tend to look washed out. Deep brick, chocolate and dark warm red give you definition. This type sits next to Dark Winter, so deep cool colors can also work.

  • Dark brown or black hair
  • Dark brown eyes
  • Medium to deep skin with a warm or olive cast

Common traits, not rules. Plenty of Dark Autumns have none of them.
