Traditionally, in the fall, we switch to more restrained and even darker shades in clothes and looks. But is it worth doing? Indeed, in the gray and cold season, you so want bright colors! We have selected for you the warmest and most comfortable, as well as the most fashionable colors of autumn 2020, which will add a great mood on cool days!

Again, for top advice, we turn to the color authority, the Pantone Color Institute. If for the summer season Pantone recommended light, bright and airy tones, then in the fall the favorites will be more saturated, but not at all dark and not dull shades. Here are the top 10 trendiest colors on autumn 2020 season.

Samba: dark red

No, this is not the color of Marsala, which was in vogue a couple of years ago, or the color of red chili, which was at the peak of popularity last spring-summer season. This is a very rich red color, quite dark, with a warm undertone, which will definitely warm you in rainy and slushy weather. Not a single Pantone palette is complete without red tones, therefore the Samba shade occupies one of the dominant places in it.

This shade looks best on soft knitwear. And you can safely combine it with all creamy beige nude colors, with white and with a light blue calm color.

Classic Blue: classic blue

Perhaps we should have started our rating with this color, since it is the main one in 2020. And this applies to both the spring-summer season and the cool autumn-winter season. Saturated, but very calm, without bright blotches like "electric", it is the favorite color of Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle, Princess Diana and even Queen Elizabeth herself. Classic Blue suits both blondes and brunettes well and will be relevant for any weather and season.

Classic blue looks best in business looks, on dense suit and coat fabrics, on textured felt and on outerwear. It can be combined with many shades, including mustard and chocolate.

Amber Glow: amber yellow-orange

In our opinion, this is the perfect color for fall. It is incredibly warm, warming, very cozy. Bright enough not to go unnoticed, and at the same time not orange or tiger, but discreet and incredibly elegant. It traces the real shine of amber (as Amber Glow is translated as the name of this color), but the brightness of the fire in the fireplace is added to this amber.

Amber orange is a better color for dark-skinned brunettes than fair-skinned blondes. It looks good both in monochrome look and in combination with black and white, light beige, red and even blue.

Green Sheen: lime yellow green

Definitely one of the brightest shades in the Pantone palette for the fall 2020 season. It is difficult to call it completely lime, it is rather lemon. A bright yellow color, in which a greenish undertone is clearly traced, will delight on cold autumn days with its sunshine and juiciness. It will also work well for brunettes, even for creating a monochrome look. But for blondes it is better to combine Green Sheen with other shades.

Combinations of other shades with this color must be selected carefully. If you are not a maximalist for a monochrome look, combine it with gray, light blue, blue, or choose bright accessories in this shade.

Sandstone: sandy grayish pink

Indeed, this shade is more reminiscent of the pink sand of the beaches than the dry golden sand of the Sahara desert. It is more nude, with a grayish undertone, with a gravitation towards beige, but here you can clearly see blotches of a pinkish warm shade.An excellent option for textured fabrics, for leather and suede, for outerwear. This shade can be safely called basic and included in your everyday wardrobe.

It looks no less relevant on silk and satin fabrics, as the overflow and shine of the materials make it truly noble. You can combine it with almost any other color from the autumn Pantone palette.

Peach Nougat: peach nougat

Throughout 2020, the Pantone Color Institute unequivocally gravitates towards peach shades of varying degrees of saturation and different types of blends with other colors. If in summer a delicate “peach cream” and a more intense pink-peach cream were in vogue, then the color of peach nougat is offered for autumn. It is also quite light, with a warm pink undertone, but at the same time it is also neutral, allowing it to fit into different looks and combine with other colors.

Light pinks are not only suitable for light fabrics and warm seasons. Peach Nougat also looks great on rather dense and heavy things. It goes well with white and dark chocolate tones.

Ultramarine Green: ultramarine green

The universal blue-green shade is equally well suited for brunettes and blondes, brown-haired and red-haired, swarthy and fair-skinned. It will perfectly fit into any look, from a business look, going to luxurious evening dresses, and ending with a comfortable casual style and sporty. It is quite dark, but at the same time very deep and rich, and is well suited for autumn days, adding brightness, but not in a flashy way.

It is best to use monochrome images entirely in this color. Otherwise, choose accessories only in Ultramarine Green. The color is quite complex, but you can try in a pair of light nude and beige tones.

Fired Brick: Chocolate Red

The name of this color translates as "burnt brick", but if it is a brick shade, then it is quite dark and saturated, and not at all terracotta, like those bricks that we are used to seeing. We would rather call it “red chocolate”, because it is a really dark brown shade with a distinct red undertone. It is not burgundy, but still there is something from burgundy in it, only Fired Brick is warmer.

Trousers, skirts, sheath dresses, sweaters, jackets, coats and, of course, an abundance of leather, both matte and glossy - that's what this shade seems to be created for. And yes, it goes well with nude and beige tones, with gray, black and even blue.

Military Olive: military olive

In other words: "khaki", it's easier to call it that way. This is exactly the olive color that is used for sewing camouflage military uniforms. It will fit perfectly into your basic fall wardrobe. A versatile shade that matches almost any color and suits any look. It could be called rather dull and truly autumnal, but still we suppose that the abundance of options for how to wear it and in what things to use it will make Military Olive interesting in its own way.

Parkas, coats, jackets, trouser suits, jeans and skirts, and more ... silk dresses, even evening dresses - this is where you can use the khaki shade. It looks great with gray and chocolate, burgundy and beige, and even powdery and light orange.

Magenta Purple: pink-purple

This color completes our list of the most relevant colors for the fall 2020 season in a worthy way. A beautiful blend of magenta and purple, a deep pink-violet color that brightens up dull autumn days. It looks really great, royally, and is suitable for any color type of appearance, for any age and for any image.

A good example of a Magenta Purple look would be the combination of a darker and lighter shade in one look. A bolder and brighter solution - red and purple in a single ensemble.
