True Autumn Color Palette
The classic warm and deep Autumn sub-type — earthy, muted warm tones at medium-to-deep intensity. The most recognisably "autumnal" palette, and the reference point the other three Autumn variants bridge away from.
How to Tell True Autumn Apart
True Autumn sits at the centre of the Autumn family: warmer than Deep Autumn, less golden than Warm Autumn, and less muted than Soft Autumn. If a general Autumn palette already feels accurate without leaning any direction, True Autumn is likely your type.

Other Autumn Sub-seasons
The most golden Autumn sub-type, bridging toward Spring. Slightly more vivid and sunlit than True Autumn; brighter warm tones like saffron and burnt gold work well alongside Autumn's signature earthiness.
The deepest Autumn sub-type, bridging toward Winter. Can occasionally incorporate slightly darker, near-cool tones like very deep forest green or dark wine alongside Autumn's signature warmth.
The most muted Autumn sub-type, bridging toward Summer. Coloring is gently blended with low contrast — greyed, dusty warm tones are more flattering than Autumn's classic vivid earthiness.
