Shades That Clash with Autumn

These colors work against Autumn's warmth and depth:

• Icy pastels: baby blue, lavender, and mint look pale and disconnected against warm skin
• Cool pinks and fuchsia: the blue undertone clashes with golden complexions
• Pure black and stark white: too cool and stark for warm, rich coloring
• Electric blue and cobalt: these are Winter colors that compete with warm features
• Cool gray: drains the warmth from your face and makes you look fatigued

The rule of thumb: if a color looks like it belongs in a frost or snowscape, it probably does not belong on an Autumn.
