Pastel Fall Color Palette

Bright Fall Color Palette

This bright fall color palette truly encapsulates the essence of autumn pigmentation, with bright red, orange, and yellow, plus a hint of a more neutral orange creeping in. This fall color combination is great for creating fall scrapbook layouts full of autumn leaves. The layout below achieves that look with Painted Patch Designer Series Paper and Autumn Fields Dies.

Deep Fall Color Palette

Nothing says fall like rich, earthy colors. The browns, oranges, and dark blue in this deep fall color palette also make for great fall colors for nails (in fact, I recently painted my nails with this same color scheme)! Try pairing these colors with Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper for added cozy fall vibes.
