Autumn hair will also mimic all the colors in Nature's brilliant show at this time of year. Think of ginger, copper, bronze and the true, "Irish Colleen," redheads. Like Springs, Autumn hair grays to a yellowish tone and they too may dye their hair successfully.

Autumn eyes are often shades of green, from grey green and olive to yellow green with gold or topaz flecks. You'll also find red brown or dark brown eyes and even some very muted blue green, aqua or turquoise.
