Forest green on deep, warm skin tones (Deep Autumn)
One of yours: with deep, warm colouring, forest green sits ΔE 5.4 from the nearest Deep Autumn colour.
The answer
Yes. Forest green sits inside the Deep Autumn palette. The nearest thing in the palette is #2F4A28, ΔE 5.4 away. 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.
