Fall Colors
Fall colors are best typified by the changing colors of the leaves on trees.
The crisp reds, bright oranges, sunny yellows and dark greens of the evergreens are all characteristic of a fall scene.
Altogether, these colors make us feel nostalgic. They bring the excitement of the upcoming holidays, and the peacefulness that comes with the steady drum of the changing seasons. Fall tends welcomes us to admire the beauty around us.
Bringing Fall Colors Inside the Home
When we bring those fall colors inside the home, we invoke the same feelings. Warmth, energy, and nostalgia abound in a room with fall colors.
Painting a room in a rich fall color is a great way to enliven the senses and provide a rich, warm glow for your room.
So without further delay, here are the best paint colors for a fall inspired home.
Fall Paint Colors – Green
Green is a great paint color for fall. It is earthy and peaceful.
Green paint colors are cool colors. Cool colors tend to be calming and relaxing.
To pick a green that’s a good green for a fall color scheme, try to choose one that has a bit of gray in the blend.
All colors have are made up of different undertones, and greens with gray undertones tend to be earthy and remind us of slowly changing leaves or evergreens. In addition, a bit of gray in the mix keeps the green from appearing too bright.
Green paint pairs well with many other fall tones as well.
Here are three green shades that are gorgeous, and perfect for I color palette in your home.

Fall Paint Colors – Burnt Orange
Orange is a color that we don’t usually think of when we are painting a room. But don’t count it out.
Orange paint colors can energize a space and make it feel warm and grounded.
Orange is a traditionally earthy color, especially when it has brown undertones.
When picking an orange, choose an orange paint color that is more of a burnt orange or bronze.
While bronze paint colors can also follow into the brown paint color category, coppery oranges that have a bit more orange than brown can look really gorgeous on walls.
This fun, pop of color, can work well in the right space.
Here are a few gorgeous orange paint colors for fall:
Fall Paint Colors – Mustard or Muted Yellows
Yellow paint colors can range from pale to bright, sunny to mustard, and light to dark.
Yellows that are reminiscent of fall tend to have some orange or some brown in them.
As long as you don’t go with a sunny bright yellow, you’re on the right track.
Muted yellows or yellows with some gray or brown, are going to be your go to paint colors for a fall paint color palette.
I love these three yellows and how they energize the room with a warm glow without being too bright.
Fall Paint Colors – Rusty Reds
Red is a great color for fall.
When choosing a red paint color for your walls, be sure to steer away from the more crisp bright reds of winter.
Instead, choose reds to have a brown or an orange undertone. This will ensure that the color is truly reminiscent of fall leaves instead of hearkening the Christmas holiday.
You can also go with more of a cranberry colored red if you want a fall color that doesn’t have any orange in it.
Here are three gorgeous red paint colors that are perfect for a fall color scheme.
Fall Paint Colors – Muddy Browns
Last, let’s talk about brown paint colors.
Brown paint can be classic earthy and beautiful.
A lot of people are choosing brown for accent walls right now in the form of a color called Urbane Bronze. Urbane Bronze is Sherwin-Williams color of the year for 2021.
It is great for accent walls and could even be used in the whole room with the right lighting.
You can also choose a brown that has some lighter tones in it, to make sure you don’t overpower the room with the paint color.
For example, here are three brown paint colors that are reminiscent of fall but don’t look too drab.
