Beige on deep, warm skin tones (Deep Autumn)

This one belongs to Light Spring, which scores beige 97 against 39 for deep, warm colouring.

The answer

No. Beige sits well outside the Deep Autumn palette. The nearest thing in the palette is #8A7660, ΔE 24.5 away, which is one of the four neutrals the season is built on. Under 12 reads as the same colour family; past 25 the two are visibly different colours.

It does not collide with anything on the season's avoid list, so the only question is distance.

How beige scores across all twelve seasons

Beige is an opinionated colour: Light Spring scores it 97 and True Winter scores it 38. A gap that wide means the colour genuinely decides something, and getting it right is worth the effort.

Deep Autumn sits 11 of twelve at 39, 58 points behind Light Spring. That gap is the honest size of the compromise, not a verdict on the colour.

  • Light Spring: 97 (ΔE 1.3).
  • Bright Spring: 94 (ΔE 2.3).
  • True Autumn: 87 (ΔE 5.2).
  • Deep Autumn: 39 (ΔE 24.5) <- this season.
  • True Winter: 38 (ΔE 17.5).
