Merlot
Wine tones are perfect for the cooler season, as they add depth and richness. For Autumn 2019 colour trends we have Merlot, a deep red with just a hint of brown that exudes a lot of class.

Dark Cheddar
This delicious colour extends the yellow palette of the Autumn 2019 colours, giving warmth. It’s a dark yellow tinged with orange that is quintessentially autumnal – in fact, it’s just a smidge darker than Butterscotch! It blends just as well with blues as it does with reds in a seasonal look.
Complete the look with our:
Butter Yellow
Butter yellow hues offer a fresh new palette for the season.Edited's data shows that Pantone shade 11-0618 is particularly popular. It's technically called "wax yellow" andEdited explained it as a toned-down soft banana shade that has "adopted a more mature aesthetic.”
Complete the look with our:
Fluorescent Flashes
The opposite to butter yellow, yet just as popular, neon segues from summer 2019 well into autumn and winter, coming up in surprising combinations: Who knew flouro green could work so well with brown? Or that highlighter yellow was friends with dark denim?
Complete the look with our:
Peach Pink
WhereasLiving Coral is the it-colour for 2019, peach pink represents its muted, fall/ winter variation; whereas the coral is described as “living”, this shade is resting a bit, hiding from the cold. It’s similar to Crabapple, but it is slightly lighter and warmer.
Complete the look with our:
Butterscotch
This golden shade is as sweet and creamy as a yellow can be, with a rich depth that makes it ideal for the fall/ winter 2019-2020 colour trends. This colour pairs well with black.
Complete the look with our:
Grapeade
Purple isn't for everyone, but it certainly made a bold splash in the industry. This muted mauve stands out in the fall/ winter 2019-2020 colour trends as one of the unique purples we’ve seen. It’s an understated colour that is not too dark or light and leans just slightly towards cool. It’s a wonderful accent to all of the blues, but it could also be paired with the yellows and neutrals.
