RICH
AUTUMN COLOUR PALETTE
Warm, deep and vivid. Rich is an early autumn day at full strength.
Quick answer: Rich is a deep, clear, warm palette in the 18-palette Absolute Colour System, like an early autumn day. It suits people with deep, warm colouring and bright eyes. Rich chocolate brown replaces black, and rich gold is the best metal.

Fiona's Insight
Rich clients can carry colour most people wouldn't dare. Your risk is going too safe. A camel coat is lovely, but a rust or emerald one is what people remember.
