UndertonaDeep Autumn, also called Dark Autumn, is defined by depth. Your coloring is dark with a warm lean: deep hair, rich eye color and skin that looks best against saturated, earthy shades. Pastels and light icy colors look washed out on you, while mahogany, forest green, deep teal and tomato red look luxurious.
