The True Autumn Palette
True Autumn — Warm Autumn, in some schools — combines a warm undertone, medium depth and soft chroma, worn with gold. Here is its verified palette in full.
Warmth is the axis True Autumn leads with. Its undertone is warm, its depth medium, its chroma soft — settled colour rather than shouting colour — and gold is the metal that sits comfortably against it. Some schools call this season Warm Autumn, a name that says the same thing more directly.
The palette
The verified names read like a walk through a spice market and a wood: rust, mustard and burnt orange on one side; camel and chocolate brown holding the middle; olive, olive green and teal closing the set. Even teal, the one entry that leans towards blue, keeps company with the greens around it.

Conventionally avoided
The conventional exclusions fall into two groups. Cool pastels and icy pastels miss twice: their coolness argues with a warm undertone, and their lightness floats above a medium depth. Black and pure white are the depth scale at its unmodulated extremes, and neither holds any warmth at all.

- cool pastels
- icy pastels
- pure white
Worth saying plainly at the end: no season is an island. True Autumn shares most of its wearable range with its neighbours, and many wardrobes sit comfortably across the boundary. The finder shows its point spread for exactly that reason — how far first place leads second tells you how much the label alone can carry.
