Palette DNA & contrast

Toned Autumn typically has enough natural contrast that medium to low applied contrast looks best, including monochrome built from one hue in light/medium/dark steps. As the darker Soft Autumn, it complements Tinted Autumn’s lighter selections; many hues overlap, with value being the key dial. Best lights include oyster, light cream, stone, buff, light warm gray, taupe, pewter; best darks include deep olive, dark taupe, mahogany, navy, dark brown, charcoal, black-brown.

About black

Black worn alone near the face can feel too strong; soften with light-to-medium neutrals (oyster, buff, stone) or switch to charcoal/dark taupe for a kinder version of depth.

Season shifts

Darkening hair or choosing deeper lenses can move you toward Shaded Autumn; warming to vibrant red hair can pull you toward Pure Autumn.
