Autumn is the season for crunchy leaves, sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes. When it comes to design, you need to make sure your brand stays on top of seasons and holidays. Show your audience you're paying attention and are on top of the freshest trends. Colour is a good way to stay on track. Put an Autumn flair on your design with these colour palettes!

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:

• Shades of yellow grosgrain ribbon
• Luxury Bronze folding gift boxes

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.”

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?

• Luxury Black folding gift boxes

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.

• Luxury pale pink folding gift boxes
• Light Coral grosgrain ribbon

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.

• Dandelion grosgrain ribbon

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.

Complete the look with our:

• Natural Kraft folding gift boxes
• Antique Mauve grosgrain ribbon

Use these colour combinations to freshen up your designs this season. We hope you’ve been inspired to create something terrific.
