About Deep Autumn
Deep Autumn is the darkest and most dramatic of the autumn seasons. You have rich, deep coloring with warm undertones and can handle intense, saturated colors that would overwhelm lighter seasons. Think of a twilight forest in autumn—deep burgundy, forest green, espresso brown, and rich rust. Your coloring has depth and drama.
