Autumn family · between Deep Winter and True Autumn on the wheel
Deep Autumn color palette
Warm-leaning, dark and rich. 30 colors with hex codes, computed from where Deep Autumn sits on depth, warmth and clarity.
Deep Autumn is the darkest of the warm seasons, next to Deep Winter on the wheel. Its colors are rich and earthy: brick, rust, ochre, olive, forest and deep teal, with espresso and bark as neutrals.
In our model it reads warm-leaning (+1), as deep as the scale goes (+2) and a little soft (−1). Depth is its main trait, so light pastels tend to wash it out; its colors to skip come from the cool, soft end of the wheel.

What colors suit a Deep Autumn?
Warm-leaning, dark and rich colors: the 30 swatches above. Wear the stronger shades near your face and use the neutrals for big pieces like coats.
Can a Deep Autumn wear black?
Black is darker than anything in this palette: the darkest neutral here is Espresso #1e1a15 (OKLCH lightness 0.22; black is 0). It sits better away from the face; espresso and bark are softer choices for a coat or a suit.
Are these hex codes exact?
They are computed, not copied: each color is sampled from this season’s box in the OKLCH color space (table above) and converted to sRGB. Screens differ, so judge fabric in daylight.
