Seasonal color analysis
Autumn color palette
The palette for people with warm (golden/yellow-based) coloring — warm, rich and earthy — split into three seasons: True Autumn, Soft Autumn and Deep Autumn.
The Autumn color palette in seasonal color analysis is warm (golden/yellow-based), medium to deep in depth and soft to medium in clarity: three seasons — True Autumn (also called Warm Autumn), Soft Autumn (Muted Autumn) and Deep Autumn (Dark Autumn) — holding 48 distinct colors and 16 neutrals between them, every one published here with its hex code. It is the palette worn by people with Autumn coloring — warm, rich and earthy — not a decorating scheme.
What are the Autumn colors?
All 48 Autumn colors, with hex codes — the three Autumn palettes hold 48 swatches between them and 48 distinct colors, with no swatch shared between two Autumn seasons. Wear them near the face, where the color is doing its job. Each season’s own page carries its 16 colors, its neutrals and its shades to avoid.

Which Autumn season am I?
Undertone puts you in the Autumn family; two more questions — depth and clarity — pick the season inside it. Depth is how light or deep your natural coloring runs (medium to deep across this family) and clarity is how bright or muted it is (soft to medium). True Autumn: medium depth, medium clarity. Soft Autumn: medium depth, soft clarity. Deep Autumn: deep depth, medium clarity. The free Palettewell undertone quiz settles the first axis; the full analysis uses a quiz plus one selfie to settle all three.
Take the free undertone quiz to settle warm against cool, then get the full analysis to place yourself inside the Autumn family.
Is there a cool Autumn?
No. There is no cool Autumn in the 12-season system — all three Autumn seasons are warm, and that shared undertone is what makes them a family. Measured across the palettes, the coolest-leaning of the three is Soft Autumn, whose colors sit closest to neutral on the yellow-blue axis, so “cool autumn” usually points at it. If your coloring reads cool, the comparison to read is Soft Summer vs Soft Autumn — that crossover, not a season that does not exist, is what the phrase is reaching for.
Soft Summer vs Soft Autumn — both palettes side by side, and the test that separates them.
Is there a muted Autumn?
Yes — Soft Autumn is the muted member of the family, and it is a real season: soft and muted, medium in depth, 16 colors of its own. If “muted autumn” is what you searched, Soft Autumn is the palette you want.

Depth is how light or deep your natural coloring runs (medium to deep across this family) and clarity is how bright or muted it is (soft to medium). True Autumn: medium depth, medium clarity.

Is this the same as an autumn color palette for design or decor?
No. This is the Autumn palette in seasonal color analysis — the 48 colors that suit people with Autumn coloring, chosen against skin, hair and eyes rather than against a room. The hex codes work perfectly well as a color scheme if that is what you came for, and an autumn scheme built from them will read warm, rich and earthy — but the reason each color is on the list is a face, not a wall.
