The Toasted Soft Autumn

The Toasted Soft Autumn exudes a rich warmth and natural beauty that feels naturally grounded. This unique sub-season of Autumn is defined by its muted, toasted undertones and rich yet slightly understated palette, blending earthy warmth with softness and depth. 

Here are the basics of the Toasted Soft Autumn season

Temperature: Warm
Value: Medium - Deep
Chroma: Muted
Sister Season: Hot Deep Autumn

Best colors: Chocolate brown, copper, tomato, forest green, deep teal, deep peach, coral, golden yellow.

Worst Colors: Avoid cool colors, especially pale dusty pastels.

The Toasted Soft Autumn needs to wear rich, warm colors that are muted and deep in value.

This season is deeper in value than a Warm Autumn but needs much more warmth than the Deep Autumn season provides. Often mistaken for a Deep Autumn or a Warm Autumn, the Toasted Soft Autumn is a blend of both.

Depth is important: Wearing colors that are too pale will not be strong enough for your coloring and will wash you out. Anything too cool will not harmonize with your toasted coloring.

Hallmarks of the Toasted Soft Autumn

Toasted Soft Autumns are distinguished by their harmonious blend of warm, rich tones in their coloring.

• Eyes: Commonly hazel, green, or warm brown, often with a soft, "toasted" quality. Eyes may display golden flecks or a gentle haziness.
• Skin: Typically warm or neutral with golden or peach undertones. Skin often reflects a glowing warmth that pairs beautifully with earthy colors.
• Hair: Mostly rich shades of red and warm brown, and lots of deep auburn shades. 
• Overall Look: Rich, muted, deep, and all-warm.

Accessories for Toasted Soft Autumn

The right accessories complement your warm, muted tones while adding a polished touch to your look.

Jewelry: Warm metals like gold, bronze, and copper are ideal.

Gemstones such as amber, tiger’s eye, citrine, and coral will align beautifully.

Eyewear: Frames in warm browns, tortoiseshell patterns, or muted gold work best.

For other accessories like scarves and hats, choose only your best power colors from your palette.
