Am I a Dark Autumn?

Sub-seasons get confusing fast. Use these signals to narrow down whether you're a Dark Autumn or a related family.

Count your matches in each list. This is a heuristic, not a replacement for professional draping or a Tonebook scan.

You're probably a Dark Autumn if…

• Your overall coloring is rich and deep — dark hair, deep eyes, medium-to-deep warm skin.
• Espresso, oxblood, forest green, and deep teal feel like luxury on you.
• Pastels look ill on you — you need depth and saturation.
• Both pure black and pure white look slightly off; you sit between true autumn and true winter.

You're probably NOT a Dark Autumn if…

• Bright icy blue feels right (true winter signal).
• You shine in pastels (spring or light summer signal).
• Earthy mid-tones (rust, olive) feel definitively right (true autumn signal).

Sub-seasons people confuse with Dark Autumn

• true-autumn

Reading your matches

If you matched most yes-signals and few no-signals, you're likely a Dark Autumn. If results are mixed, look at the confusions list above — those families share enough characteristics that draping or a Tonebook scan is the cleanest way to tell.

Tonebook reads undertone, value, and chroma from a selfie in about ten seconds and assigns the precise sub-season plus its 24-color palette.
