Colour family · 4 subtypes
The Autumn colour family
Autumn is the warm family with earthy, muted colour. Its shades are rich and warming: rust, mustard, deep forest, terracotta, warm brown.
There are four subtypes: Soft, Warm, Deep and True Autumn. Warmth is what they share; saturation and depth are what set them apart — and that decides what belongs next to your face.
