Whats The Difference?

This is where I will be illustrating the differences between two similar seasons. 

Remember, there are three main traits - Value, Chroma, and temperature. 

Easily misdiagnosed seasons will usually share one or two similar traits. 

Whats the difference between a Smokey and Toasted Autumn.

Whats the Difference between a Smokey and
Toasted Soft Autumn?

Our first set of seasons have a chroma that is muted, and their value is medium-deep.

The difference can be seen in their undertones. Typical of the Smokey Soft Autumn, her temperature is blended though predominantly warm. But she's what I call a 'cooled down' Autumn. 

The Toasted Soft Autumn is all-warm. True to its name, she is more 'toasted' than her counterpart. She can handle some of the warmest, richest colors available like deep warm peach, burnt orange, warm dark browns, etc. 

If the Smokey wanted to warm herself up with some warmer highlights and warmer makeup, she could pull that off if she choose to. But naturally, she's a bit cooler and harmonize easier in shades like peach, pumpkin orange, cocoa brown, earthy browns, etc.
