Are you an Avon makeup fan who is still upset about the discontinuation of True Color Lipstick? You’re not alone! The number one thing I get asked these days comes from folks wanting to know what the replacement is for their favorite Avon True Color Lipstick shades. While normally Avon doesn’t replicate shades with new lipstick collections, this time they did!Â
On March 30th, 2022, Avon released 10 new shades that are direct replacements for True Color classics. To celebrate, I also pulled out my old True Color samples and compared all the shades that I could to bring you a few extra recommendations.
Without further ado, let’s see the list! You can also use the buttons below to jump ahead to your favorite shade.

#1 Brown Sugar
TRUE COLOR: Brown Sugar
Twilight is a direct replacement for the old true color shade Brown Sugar. They are the same shade, although I’ve noticed that Twilight is a tiny bit more yellow.
#2 Buttered Rum
TRUE COLOR: Buttered Rum
Although Luna is not advertised as a replacement, I’ve compared these shades myself and found them to be almost identical. Luna is slightly cooler (more blue), but not by much. I think Buttered Rum fans will be happy.
#3 Cherry Jubilee
TRUE COLOR: Cherry Jubilee
Don’t be confused by your screen! Wild Cherry is much more similar to Cherry Jubilee on the lips than it looks in photographs of the tubes. In fact, Avon released Wild Cherry to be the exact same color. Wild Cherry is slightly lighter, but the difference is subtle.
#4 Coral Fever
TRUE COLOR: Coral Fever
This is another shade match that I compared myself. Although Coral Fever and Poppy are not exactly the same, they are extremely similar, and I think Coral Fever fans will be happy with the switch. Poppy is slightly more yellow, but the difference is so subtle that most people will probably find them to look the same.
#5 Cozy Mauve
TRUE COLOR: Cozy Mauve
Plum Blossom is another shade that Avon released as a direct replacement – this time for Cozy Mauve. Although Plum Blossom doesn’t appear to be a full shimmer finish based on my comparison, there is a subtle shimmery sheen to it that is quite interesting.
I wasn’t able to get my hands on Cozy Mauve, but I’ve included a swatch of Plum Blosson below so you can see the finish.
#6 Delicate Date
TRUE COLOR: Delicate Date
Morning Glory was released as a replacement for Delicate Date, and is meant to be the exact same shade. Unfortunately I couldn’t get my hands on my own tube of Delicate Date to compare, but so far the similarities seem to check out.
#7 Dragonfruit Blush
TRUE COLOR: Dragonfruit Blush
According to Avon, Tulip was designed to be the exact same shade as Dragonfruit Blush. Dragonfruit Blush is another shade I couldn’t get my hands to see for myself. However, it should be a perfect match!

#10 Nude Truffle
TRUE COLOR: Nude Truffle
Although nothing is quite the same as Nude Truffle, I found that Fog is similar enough to pass as the same shade. Fog is slightly lighter, but not by much.
#11 Peony Blush
TRUE COLOR: Peony Blush
Avon released Aster as a direct replacement for Peony Blush. They are meant to be the exact same shade, and I’ve found that to be pretty true. As you can see, Aster is a smidge darker.
#12 Ravishing Rose
TRUE COLOR: Ravishing Rose
This shade match is one that I compared myself. Though Hibiscus is a tiny bit brighter than Ravishing Rose, they are virtually the same.
#13 Roasted Chestnut
TRUE COLOR: Roasted Chestnut
Equinox is another direct replacement – this time for the old True Color shade Roasted Chestnut. According to Avon, they are the same shade.
#14 Sparkling Mauve
TRUE COLOR: Sparkling Mauve
Not only is Constellation a direct replacement for Sparkling Mauve, but it is also the only Glimmer Satin Lipstick so far with a fully shimmer finish. Both the color and the finish are identical!
#15 Toasted Cashew
TRUE COLOR: Toasted Cashew
Desert Moon was designed to be the same shade as Toasted Cashew, according to Avon. I think Toasted Cashew fans will be happy with this direct replacement.
#16 Wine with Everything
TRUE COLOR: Wine with Everything
Another direct replacement, Eclipse is the same shade as True Color‘s Wine with Everything. I couldn’t get my hands on a tube of Wine with Everything, but I trust that it’s exactly the same.
