Yes, Dark Autumns can wear grey, but it’s all about choosing the right kind of grey—one that complements our warm, rich coloring instead of washing us out.
Why Most Greys Don’t Work for Dark Autumn:
❌ Cool, icy, or bluish greys can look too stark and unflattering against our golden, earthy undertones.
❌ Light greys can feel too muted and lack the depth our palette thrives on.
The Best Greys for Dark Autumn:
✅ Warm, deep greys – Look for charcoal with a brownish or olive undertone rather than a cool, slate grey.
✅ Smoky taupe or deep mushroom – These have warmth and depth, making them more harmonious with our natural coloring.
✅ Deep warm greys in textured fabrics – Grey in suede, wool, or tweed adds richness and blends better with our palette.
How to Wear Grey as a Dark Autumn:
- Pair it with warm autumn colors – Mix grey with rust, mustard, olive, or deep teal to balance the look.
- Use it as a neutral base – A deep warm grey coat or trousers can be a great alternative to black.
- Add warmth with accessories – Gold jewelry, a rich brown belt, or a warm-toned scarf can keep grey from feeling too cool.
So, while true grey isn’t our best color, we can still wear warmer, deeper versions that blend beautifully with our autumn richness!
