Which clues matter most in a seasonal palette?

I am planning a capsule wardrobe and want to confirm my season before choosing the main colors. A few simple assessments indicate autumn although the exact subtype changes. Muted camel and forest green suit me but mustard and strong rust can make my complexion look uneven. As I prefer a minimal closet each neutral and accent needs to combine easily with the others. autumn seasonal palette gives me a starting list to compare but I would like to validate the direction with actual fabric. I am considering a comparison of cream, warm navy, chocolate, olive, muted teal, and brick. I would photograph each color in indirect daylight using the same camera settings. When evaluating base colors should I focus more on skin clarity or on harmony with my hair and eyes? I still need a small accent pair that can work across casual and slightly formal outfits. Muted teal seems promising while brick red may be easier than orange. Is this a sensible autumn test or should I add a cooler control color for comparison? A compact sequence of comparisons would help me avoid buying colors based only on a label. My priority is everyday flexibility rather than following every suggested autumn shade. Thanks for any practical advice
