Dr. Brenden Cormier 12 May 2025

Ever wondered why some colors make you look radiant while others leave you feeling washed out? It all boils down to understanding your color season, and for many, the answer lies in being an "Herbsttyp," or autumn type. This isn't just about personal preference; it's about harmonizing with your natural coloring to unlock your most vibrant self.

Identifying the "Herbsttyp" involves a careful assessment of skin undertones, hair color, and eye color. Typically, this color season is characterized by warmer undertones and a noticeable depth of contrast. These characteristics manifest in specific ways, making identification relatively straightforward once you know what to look for. Think of the quintessential autumn landscape: rich, earthy tones punctuated by flashes of vibrant color. That's the essence of the "Herbsttyp." People often describe those belonging to the Herbsttyp as individuals who exude an air of patience and confidence, traits that resonate in their warm and engaging communication style. Their personal style often reflects this inner calm, favoring palettes that project a sense of tranquility, balance, and subtle femininity.
