Deep Autumn jewelry & metals
Whether a Deep Autumn wears gold or silver, the reason it comes down to undertone, and the palette colors each metal sits best against.
Deep Autumn jewelry: gold. Deep Autumn coloring is warm (golden/yellow-based), and across all 22 palette colors the average sits at 21 on the blue↔yellow axis — gold (#D9A741) measures 58 there and silver (#C4CAD3) -5, which puts gold on your side of zero. The neutral it sits best against is Camel Deep (#B08A55).
Should a Deep Autumn wear gold or silver?
Gold. Deep Autumn coloring is warm (golden/yellow-based), deep in depth, and moderately clear.
The measurement behind that: averaged across all 22 colors in the Deep Autumn palette, the blue↔yellow axis reads 21. Gold sits at 58 on the same axis and silver at -5, so gold is the metal on the same side of zero as your palette. That is the whole argument — metals are an undertone question wearing a jewelry-counter disguise.

Yes, as long as gold is the metal at your throat and ears. Mixed metals work when the dominant one agrees with your undertone; the Deep Autumn palette averages 21 on the blue↔yellow axis, which is what puts gold in front.
What gemstone colors suit a Deep Autumn?
The saturated end of the palette: Dark Mustard (#A8791C), Rust Deep (#9B441D), Burnt Copper (#9C4A1E), Brick (#8E3B22). Match the stone to the color rather than to a stone name — a Deep Autumn suits any stone that lands in that range.
