Frequently asked questions
What colors suit the Soft Autumn type?
Soft Autumn looks most harmonious in colors that share its undertone, value, and chroma — for example Spiced Peach, Honey Gold, Warm Olive, Warm Salmon. Treat the palette as a framework rather than a strict list: nearby shades in the same family usually work too.
Which colors should Soft Autumn avoid?
Tones like Stark White, Vivid Fuchsia, Electric Coral sit far from the Soft Autumn profile and can wash out the complexion when worn in large areas. "Avoid" colors are guidance, not rules — they still work in pieces further from the face, such as trousers, shoes, or bags.
How do I know if I'm a Soft Autumn?
Traditional analysis uses calibrated fabric drapes in natural daylight with a trained consultant. Online tools estimate your season from a photo by analyzing skin, hair, and contrast. Lighting and white balance affect any photo-based result, so use a filter-free photo in natural light, treat the result as a starting point, and fine-tune by trying colors in person.
