Deep Autumn Color Palette

The Deep Autumn reds are Oxblood (#71261F), Aubergine Brown (#4E2A33), Brick (#8E3B22), Garnet (#7C2432) and Spiced Wine (#813038) — they carry the most pigment in a moderately clear palette, and they sit at the deep end of the Deep Autumn palette. All 5 are Deep Autumn palette colors, each on this page as a named swatch with its hex code.

The Deep Autumn oranges & corals are Burnt Copper (#9C4A1E) and Rust Deep (#9B441D) — they carry the most pigment in a moderately clear palette, and they sit right at the Deep Autumn palette’s mid-depth. Both are Deep Autumn palette colors, each on this page as a named swatch with its hex code.

The Deep Autumn yellows & golds are Dark Mustard (#A8791C) and Bronze (#8C6A2B) — they carry the most pigment in a moderately clear palette, and they sit at the light end of the Deep Autumn palette. Both are Deep Autumn palette colors, each on this page as a named swatch with its hex code.

Yes — this page is the Deep Autumn color chart. It carries 16 palette colors, 6 neutrals and 6 shades to avoid: 28 swatches in all, every one with its name and its hex code, and the palette is also grouped by hue family (reds, oranges & corals, yellows & golds and the neutrals) so you can pull one family out of the chart. The hex codes are rendered as text rather than baked into an image, so a screenshot keeps them readable and copy-paste still works.

Deep Autumn is also sold as Dark Autumn — the same season under a different system's naming. SciART-derived charts say “True”, “Bright” and “Deep” where older books say “Warm”, “Clear” and “Dark”. Whichever name you arrived with, the palette on this page is the one it points at. Style-essence labels like “ingenue” or “gamine” are a different system again — they type body and style rather than color, so they change how a garment is cut, not which colors suit you.

Black is not one of the Deep Autumn colors. The deepest neutral in the Deep Autumn set is Black Coffee (#2A1F17), and that is the anchor to reach for when an outfit wants a black — it holds the same weight without flattening Deep Autumn coloring.

The 6 colors Deep Autumn should avoid are Icy Pastel Blue, Baby Pink, Cool Lilac, Neon Yellow, Silver Grey and Powder Blue. Each one misses the palette on undertone, depth or clarity rather than on taste — the measured reason for each is on this page, with a palette swap for every one of them on the Deep Autumn colors-to-avoid page.

Gold. Deep Autumn coloring is warm (golden/yellow-based), so a warm metal picks up the same base the palette runs on; silver sits cold and flat against it.

Deep Autumn hair follows the same undertone rule as the clothes: espresso, black-brown with warmth, deep auburn — richness over lightness. The point is to keep hair, skin and palette on one temperature so nothing in the picture argues.

16 palette colors plus 6 neutrals, and Palettewell publishes every one with its hex code. Add the 6 shades to avoid and the Deep Autumn page carries 28 named values in total.

Deep Autumn is warm (golden/yellow-based). On the other two axes it is deep in depth and moderately clear, and those two are what separate Deep Autumn from the other Autumn seasons.

Both are Autumn seasons, so both share a warm base. They part on value (Deep Autumn is deep, Soft Autumn is medium) and chroma (Deep Autumn is medium, Soft Autumn is soft). In practice that is Oxblood, Burnt Copper and Deep Forest against Toasted Almond, Salmon Dust and Olive Moss.
