What to ask your colorist for
Bring the hex codes above, and ask for a tone on the warm/golden side. Depth matters as much as tone: dark brown to black-brown, usually with warm red or golden undertones.
If you are covering gray, ask for a shade one level lighter than your natural depth, full-depth coverage on graying hair usually reads harsher than the color looked on the chart.

Frequently asked
What is the best hair color for a Deep Autumn?
dark chocolate, deep auburn, mahogany brown, espresso and rich copper brown. The principle: stay within a couple of shades of your natural depth and keep the undertone on the warm side. Going far outside either is what makes dyed hair look like a wig.
Can a Deep Autumn go blonde?
It is the hardest change for this season to pull off, because Deep Autumn coloring is built on depth. If you want to go lighter, go a few shades at a time and keep the undertone warm, a full platinum will usually flatten the face.
Does dyeing my hair change my color season?
Not fundamentally. Your season is set by skin undertone, which dye does not touch. But dye absolutely changes your contrast level, and contrast is one of the three axes, so a naturally dark-haired person who goes blonde may find that a lighter version of their palette suits them better day to day.
