Coral on neutral-warm, muted skin tones (Soft Autumn)

The answer

Close, but not a match. Coral sits just outside the Soft Autumn palette. The nearest thing in the palette is #C08870, ΔE 12.3 away. Under 12 reads as the same colour family; past 25 the two are visibly different colours.

There is a second problem. Coral lands within ΔE 7.5 of #FF4E2B, which is on the short list of colours that actively work against Soft Autumn colouring. That is the failure people can see and cannot name.

How coral scores across all twelve seasons

Coral is an opinionated colour: Bright Spring scores it 92 and Deep Winter scores it 14. A gap that wide means the colour genuinely decides something, and getting it right is worth the effort.

Soft Autumn sits 7 of twelve at 51, 41 points behind Bright Spring. That gap is the honest size of the compromise, not a verdict on the colour.

• Bright Spring: 92 (ΔE 3.2).
• True Spring: 91 (ΔE 3.7).
• Bright Winter: 69 (ΔE 12.3).
• Soft Autumn: 51 (ΔE 12.3) <- this season.
• Deep Winter: 14 (ΔE 34.5).

What to wear instead
