Warm burgundy is a deep red with brown underneath it rather than blue. It is the Dark Autumn version of the color that Winters know as black cherry or cranberry, and the difference is temperature. This one has been warmed. On a Dark Autumn it reads as rich. On a Deep Winter it reads as slightly brown.

Where it sits

Dark Autumn palette

Warm burgundy is an anchor color in Dark Autumn. Nothing on the same side of the warm–cool line comes within twenty points of it; the nearest is Warm burgundy #8C3A2A in True Autumn at 22. That makes it a clean test. If it suits you, you are in this palette.

Burgundy is in stores every fall, and most of it is the wrong kind for this season. Retail burgundy skews cool, a wine with blue in it, because that version photographs cleanly and suits more people. The Dark Autumn version has red-brown in the base, which makes it closer to oxblood than to wine. Hold it against a Winter burgundy and the warmth is obvious. Hold it alone and it can be hard to tell.

It is one of the best colors in this palette because it does two jobs. Worn as a whole piece, a coat or a dress, it is the season's drama color, as saturated as a Dark Autumn gets. Worn as a neutral beside deep teal, dark olive and mahogany, it holds the outfit together the way navy would for a Winter.

Twelve points separate this from Deep Winter's black cherry, which is close enough that some pieces sold as one are really the other. The check is skin, not the hanger. If the burgundy makes the face look golden, it is this one. If it makes the face look cooler and sharper, it is the Winter one.

Easily confused with

Deep Winter's black cherry and cranberry are the close relatives, at twelve and fifteen points. Both are blue-based. The brown in warm burgundy is the whole difference, and it is the difference between a color that warms a Dark Autumn and a color that drains one.

Questions

Is warm burgundy a Dark Autumn color?

Yes. Warm burgundy (#6E2233) is an anchor color in the Dark Autumn palette. No other palette on the same side of the warm–cool line has a color near it, which makes it a reliable test for the season.

What is the difference between warm burgundy and regular burgundy?

The undertone. A standard burgundy is a wine red with blue in it. Warm burgundy has brown in the base instead, which pulls it toward oxblood. Beside each other, the warm one looks browner and the cool one looks pinker.

Can a Deep Winter wear warm burgundy?

As a bottom or a bag, yes. Near the face it reads a shade brown on cool skin. Deep Winter's own version of this depth is black cherry, which has the blue a Winter needs.

Is warm burgundy the same as oxblood?

Close, and the names get swapped. Oxblood is darker and browner still, almost a red-black. Warm burgundy has more red left in it. In this palette they are separate colors a few points apart.

What does warm burgundy go with?

The rest of the Dark Autumn palette: deep teal, dark olive, mahogany, and the browns. With camel it looks rich. With black it looks heavy. With gold metal it looks finished.
