Color type "Autumn"
Characteristic
Autumn color type is considered the brightest among the rest.... This is because, by nature, an autumn woman has golden or red luxurious hair in combination with blue or blue, emerald, brown eyes. The appearance of the "autumn" color type is associated with the warmth and brightness of autumn colors.
Leather
Most often, women of the "autumn" color type, the skin has a shade of ivory or champagne, as well as red-brown, peach shades, beige-gold, bronze or olive tones. The main thing is that it does not have a red undertone.
Sometimes the skin tone is similar to the spring color type and is distinguished by the absence of natural blush. Although there are exceptions in the form of a subtle blush shade of peach.
Skin tone is even and firm. Thanks to this, outwardly the skin looks healthy and is not prone to imperfections. An exception will be freckles, which can partially or generously show the face.
Despite the "love" of the sun, such skin quickly "burns out" in direct sunlight. This is especially true for blondes with light pinkish-beige skin. Autumn representatives with darker skin "burn out" less often, and the tan looks even, lays down well and lasts longer.
Eyes
Mostly the autumn woman has dark eyes with golden splashes. The main colors are brown with an amber sheen, green (from light green to dark green, almost marsh), brown, golden brown, ocher or nut brown. Rarely - these are blue shades, gray, light amber color.
The iris of the eyes is brown in color and, as it were, emits light and radiance. This is probably why photographers love to work with "autumn" women. They are the most photogenic.
Fluffy thick eyelashes and beautifully defined eyebrows, similar to or identical in color with the hair.
Hair
In the "autumn" color type, the hair is distinguished by its splendor, volume, elasticity. Sometimes dark brown and always warm gold, honey or brick tint. Basic hair colors are shades of chestnut, red, brown, bronze and red.
When gray hair appears or the hair is given a different shade, it is better for a woman to choose “autumn” paints with red pigments or highlight red strands. But the blue pigment in the paint should be avoided.
By nature, the autumn color type has curly or simply curly hair, but there are exceptions - representatives with straight hair. To help them create hairstyles, curling irons and curlers are suitable. With their help, they will be able to create lush and voluminous hairstyles. It is better to forget about short haircuts and strict hairstyles for this color type.
Types and subtypes
Autumn color type, like others, is divided into subtypes and subspecies. There are two main subspecies:
- Contrasting. This is fair skin combined with bright eyes.
- Natural. This subtype does not have bright contrasts and the whole appearance as a whole is sustained in the same colors.
Further about subtypes. There are three of them and each has its own color palette.
Warm autumn
It can be considered a classic or true subtype. It is characterized by warm shades of hair, eyes and skin. It has almost no contrasts. All colors and shades are even, matte, warm and soft.
Ideal colors for a warm fall are orange, yellow with gold, mustard, olive, brown, or khaki. Absolutely not suitable for warm autumn - black, blue, hot pink and gray.
Deep or dark autumn
This subtype is characterized by a bright color scheme of late outgoing autumn, which turns into winter. In most cases, this subtype has a very rich and pronounced pigment in the hair and eyes. The skin is also darker shades of the autumn color type.
It is recommended to choose a bright wardrobe. So, they will fit well into late autumn, emerald, green, dark and deep shades of brown, sometimes almost black. What should be overlooked are clothes in pale, lavender or gray shades.
Mild autumn
Third subtype. It is considered the most moderate due to the mixture of soft summer and autumn palettes.
Soft autumn is about light eyes and dull hair. And the skin is a light beige cold tone. To soften the cold, owners of this subtype are better off choosing a color scheme of neutral shades.: from light yellow to yellow, milky, light gray and mustard shades, khaki, light pink and peach.
Dark shades of blue, black and gray, red or fuchsia are not suitable for the third subtype.
Suitable shades
To decide on the main colors in the wardrobe of the autumn color type, you need to take into account not only subtypes and subspecies. The main criterion for choosing and combining colors will be colors. There are four of them.
Natural
Not striking appearance with a lack of contrast. All colors are of the same or similar shade. As an example of natural color, this appearance:
- Leather - golden beige tone.
- The eyes are brown with an amber tint.
- Hair - from light to dark blond in color with a copper tint.
Contrasting
Bright colors and shades that contrast with each other:
- Ivory leather.
- The eyes are gray with brown streaks.
- Hair - brown, closer to a bronze shade.
Bright
In this case, there is one element in appearance that stands out against the background of the other two:
- Leather - warm beige leather.
- Eyes - In this example, the eyes will be the highlight. They should be of a contrasting color to the skin and hair and stand out against their background.
- Hair - light brown hair with a dull red tint.
Light
All three basic elements (skin, eyes, hair) in one light range and spectrum.
- Skin - light beige with a natural, barely noticeable blush.
- The eyes are light brown.
- Hair is the color of light copper.
Having figured out a little with all types, subtypes and other things, you can go to the general or basic palette of the autumn color type. First of all, let's figure out which colors are suitable for a given color type, and will look the most advantageous.
The base of the wardrobe is rich brown, brick, copper, and also the color of cinnamon. It is this palette that most successfully sets off the skin. In second place will be shades of green, khaki, kerosene, mouse shades of brown and green.
A bright red color for the autumn color type is completely unsuitable, but its muted and softer shades will be very useful. These include - salmon, tomato, terracotta, cherry.
Do not forget about the violet-blue berry shades - lingonberry, blackberry, plum. Gray colors must be complemented by an admixture of yellow. An example of this color would be camel.
Cold summer and winter shades are absolutely contraindicated in the wardrobe of "autumn" women. And also black and white. When choosing shades, the shade of the hair is taken into account. The darker it is, the darker the colors in clothes.
As a conclusion: brown, green and red shades are suitable for the autumn color type. Depending on the subtype, saturation, contrast and other indicators of colors can vary - pistachio and olive shades of green, golden beige and dark chocolate from brown.
When choosing clothes, you should pay attention to simpler and uncomplicated things. Glamor, shocking, too strict costumes - all this does not suit bright and sunny representatives of the autumn color type at all.
As for the print, the red-haired girls, undoubtedly, will suit the motives of folklore, animal prints (leopard, tiger). In this case, such a drawing will not look vulgar.
