Soft Autumn is the gentlest of the three Autumns. Your coloring is warm and muted, with medium depth and low contrast between your hair, skin and eyes. Colors with a golden base and a little dust in them blend with you. Bright, icy and very dark colors compete.

Soft Autumn is warm, but quietly so. Hair is often soft brown, dark blonde or muted auburn, eyes hazel, soft green or warm brown, and skin warm to neutral without much flush. No single feature stands out from the rest: the coloring blends, and the clothes should blend with it.

Earthy colors with a little dust in them do that: terracotta, camel, sage, olive, dusty rose and deep teal. Ivory cream, oatmeal, mushroom and espresso replace black and stark white. Brushed gold, bronze and rose gold sit better than polished silver. Bright, icy and very dark colors compete: fuchsia, electric blue and jet black stand out on their own, apart from the face.

Soft Autumns are often mistaken for Soft Summers, since both are muted. The tell is warmth: if terracotta warms the skin and fuchsia looks loud, Soft Autumn fits.
