Bright Autumn,
an expanded label.
Bright Autumn is used in some expanded systems for warm earthy color with added clarity. Compare warm, moderately clear accents with True Autumn and Bright Spring. Different providers may instead call their fourth Autumn type something else.
A name with changing boundaries
There is no single sixteen-season standard. Expanded models split families differently and may use different names for similar qualities. Ask the provider which model their label belongs to before comparing palettes.
This page explains the label. Our quiz scores the twelve core seasons and does not claim to identify a sixteenth-season subtype.

Rust, golden olive and warm teal give a wardrobe a generous earthy base. Warm browns work as useful anchors and keep the palette grounded.

Test one change
Choose two fabrics from the same hue family. Keep two color qualities similar and change only lightness, temperature or clarity. Repeat in daylight. A consistent preference is more useful than assuming every expanded label has a fixed set of hex codes.
