When I think of deep autumn also called dark autumn, I see how autumn colouring fits into soft autumn, true autumn, and other autumn colour families. This is the darkest group in the colour palettes, shaped by the full make up of colour and key characteristics that suit different people in each autumn family. Imagine a dark forest as the sun fade begins, filled with rich tones and earthy tones that truly underpin this colour group. Its warm essence pulls from a traditional autumnal palette, choosing the coziest shades and deep traditional hues that feel timeless yet modern.

I have learned that the significance of colour goes beyond aesthetics, just like Meryl Streep explained in the cerulean monologue from The Devil Wears Prada, now iconic in fashion history. These seasonal hues reflect social moments and cultural moments across time, always reflecting the zeitgeist. The palette of 2025 shows mocha brown, high saturation tomato red, black cherry, and parma violet leading AW25 trending colours. The Harrods team predicts these rich and luxurious hues will define the year, continuing their reign and feeling appealing and good enough to eat, perfect for Cute Autumn Outfits with an Old Money touch.
