About Kerry Washington's colors
Why Kerry is a Deep Autumn.
Washington carries warm-bronze depth paired with very dark warm features, the Deep Autumn signature. Her coloring asks for spiced, earthy heat: terracotta, burnt orange, wine, moss, pigments with the same richness as her own skin.
Like most deep, glamorous women she gets typed Deep Winter, but Winters are cool and her skin is golden. A cool Deep Winter palette dulls her glow; warm Autumn depth restores it. She runs deeper and warmer than a Warm Autumn, so the full Deep Autumn intensity suits her best.
