The colour palette is medium in value meaning neither light nor dark colours dominate it. Instead, there are more yellows, greens, and warm browns that are naturally yellow-based. And you will only see warmer shades of blue, like turquoise, that have a tint of yellow. Consequently, you will find fewer shades of blue (which is the coolest colour of all) on the palette. This means they contain more yellow than blue undertones. Thanks to this season’s secondary aspect, the colours lean towards the warm end of the scale but are not very warm.

Containing the most muted and toned-down of the Summer family’s colours, individuals who fall into the Soft Autumn category may very easily be mistaken for Soft Summers.
