Frequently Asked Questions
- Soft Autumn vs True Autumn — how do I tell?
- Both are warm. Soft Autumn is muted (dusty terracotta, warm sage); True Autumn is richer and more saturated (rust, mustard, forest green). If saturated colors overwhelm you, you're Soft.
- Can Soft Autumns wear black?
- Not next to the face. Warm ink or warm brown do the same job without the drain.
- What's the best Soft Autumn red?
- Muted terracotta, brick, or warm cranberry. Never bright red or coral.
- Is Soft Autumn a warm or neutral season?
- Warm-neutral. The undertone leans warm, but the mutedness pulls it toward neutral — which is why some cool colors (dusty rose, mauve) sneak into the extended palette.
