True Autumn.

True Autumn is the season of warm depth at full chroma – coloring of the late-October woods, of polished copper, of moss in afternoon sun. The palette is the warmest among the warm seasons and lives at medium-to-high chroma without veering toward the bright. The maison observes that True Autumns are sometimes counseled toward the muted register of Soft Autumn or the depth of Deep Autumn and lose the saturation that distinguishes them; the chromatic intensity matters and is the season's signature. The face wearing this palette glows from the inside – the features warm, the eyes deepen, the whole reads as substantial and present. Cool tones drain the face entirely; soft muted versions of warm colours look weak; pure black competes with the natural warmth and loses; clear icy colours register as foreign. The palette serves as a celebration of warmth at its most generous – richness without apology, depth without austerity.

Note de transition.

As hair silvers, True Autumn's palette gains a striking foil. Silver hair against the warm saturated palette creates a contrast that many True Autumns find more dramatic than their original colouring. The deepest accents (sarcelle profond, vert forêt, sienne brûlée) become particularly powerful with silver hair. The warmer extremes (moutarde, cuivre) shift to accent rather than foundational roles. True Autumn ages into a more theatrical register without losing its warmth.
