About This Palette

The dark autumn palette features deeply saturated warm tones — the same sub-season as deep autumn. These colors are rich, dark, and warm: think deep forest, oxblood, dark chocolate, and burnished gold. Dark autumn sits at the boundary between autumn and winter, combining autumn's warmth with winter's depth. This makes it the most dramatic of the autumn sub-seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

What colors are in the dark autumn palette?
The dark autumn palette includes deep warm tones like dark olive, oxblood, chocolate, deep copper, claret, dark gold, and burnt sienna. All colors are richly saturated with warm undertones.
Is dark autumn the same as deep autumn?
Yes, dark autumn and deep autumn refer to the same sub-season. Both describe the deepest, most saturated autumn coloring with warm undertones and relatively high contrast.
