Autumn Shade

Autumn women’s colors are shaded. A shade specifically is a color that has black added to it. With that said, autumns can wear solid black but its best when mixed in a pattern with other colors.  Solid black is too harsh on them because their color scheme has a warm undertone. Black is not a warm color so it’s best to pick an autumn neutral and save the black as an accent.  

These women often have a dangerous feisty bad girl side and they express it with their fashion. They are the most boldly sexual and outgoing.  In yin yang energy feminine energy is represented by black.  Whereas white is considered energy giving black is energy taking or absorbing.  This makes them mysterious, alluring and exciting.
