Soft Autumn

Soft Autumn hair color

Think of temperature and depth before picking a dye name. Hair surrounds the face, so a large change can alter your preferred combinations.

Gentle olive, warm taupe and rose clay share a softened warmth. Choose colors with a little gray or brown in them, and let neighboring shades blend easily.

Color directions to discuss

Beige blonde, soft honey brown, warm mushroom brown. These chips illustrate color direction, not dye formulas.

A practical rule

Use natural depth as a starting point. Bring physical swatches to a qualified colorist and follow their product and patch-test instructions.

For this softer palette, try colors of a similar depth together before adding a strong contrast.

Try it with what you own

Choose one item from your wardrobe or makeup kit. Compare it with a chip, then look at the actual item in neutral daylight. Keep notes about combinations you enjoy.
