If you have had a seasonal colour analysis and discovered that you’re an Autumn, you will know that warm, rich and earthy colours work with your complexion.
The Autumn colour palette takes its inspiration from the natural world: changing leaves, warm earth, mossy greens and softly muted shades of peach, rust and gold.
Choosing jewellery in these tones can be a lovely way to complement an Autumn wardrobe, whether you’re looking for something for yourself or a thoughtful gift for someone whose seasonal palette you know.
What is the Autumn colour palette?
Autumn is one of the four seasonal colour palettes used in colour analysis.
While Spring colours are also warm, they tend to be clearer and brighter. Autumn colours are generally warm, earthy and softly muted, with more depth.
Gemstones for an Autumn colour palette
Gemstones are another lovely way to bring seasonal colour into your jewellery. Look for stones in warm pinks, greens, golden yellows, rich reds and earthy neutrals rather than very cool or icy tones.
Typical Autumn shades include:
- Olive, moss and forest green (peridot and vesuvianite and jade)
- Rust, terracotta and burnt orange (carnelian, fire opal, sunstone and rhodochrosite)
- Warm rose and coral (pink opal and coral)
- mustard and old gold (citrine)
- Camel, tan and chocolate brown (tiger's eye)
Which jewellery suits an Autumn colour palette?
Warm metals are particularly flattering for an Autumn palette, making gold and gold-filled jewellery a natural choice.
Yellow gold works well with the warm undertones of Autumn colours and is easy to combine with the earthy shades that tend to dominate an Autumn wardrobe.
