Deep Autumn
warm & deep
Deep Autumn is warm and deep — depth is the headline, with enough richness to carry very dark colour. Dark hair and eyes, skin with warm depth. It bridges toward Winter, so it can take darkness that lighter warm types can't.
Your black
Your black is a near-black espresso — a warm, very deep brown. It gives you the darkness you carry well while keeping a thread of warmth; you can wear true black better than most Autumns, but the warm deep brown is kinder still.

Metals
Yellow gold, bronze and copper — deep, warm metals that hold their own against your dark palette. (yellow gold, bronze, copper.)
Colours to sidestep
Icy pastels, dusty cool tones and anything pale-and-washed fight your depth and warmth. Deep, warm, saturated colour is where you're strongest.
Are you Deep Autumn, or the neighbour?
True Autumn is warm and rich but medium in depth. If you can take genuinely dark, deep colour without it overwhelming you, you're Deep Autumn.
