Each season has it's own special colors associated with it, but in no season is color more prominently on display than in the Fall. In the Autumn, rich colors come to the forefront. Russet brown, gold, earthy red, the orange of falling leaves and the yellow of burnished crops being harvested in the fields. Maybe this magnificent show of color plays a large part in why I love the Fall Season and Hallowe'en so much. The season has always spoken to me on a very deep, spiritual level. And interestingly, color can invoke moods, emotions, memories and reactions from us in a most primal way. So when you think about the Fall season and things associated with Hallowe'en...what colors come to your mind's eye? Can you take a word and come up with a color palette to represent that word? Well many artists do just that when they are creating. They want to connect with us psychologically on a deeper level. So I thought I'd share some color palettes that were created by some cleverly artistic folks, to invoke the aura or memory of things associated with Fall and Hallowe'en. Enjoy, and take a look to see if the colors are successful at invoking the concept in your mind's eye.

I might try & use a few of these palettes in some art! Thanks for sharing these!
I'm a flat out basic Halloween color girl! Love the purples, greens, oranges and blacks together!
October's glow are the colors I've choosen for my homes walls. Sage green too. Great colors to work off of. Alot of the paints I use have great names like maple surup and carmel candy. :)
Autumn Oak or Candy Apple are "me" - but I love all these colors! Very inspiring!
Actually, all of these spoke to me on some level. I love October Glow.
But honestly, aside from pink (which makes me feel nauseous looking at it), there isn't a color I dislike.
Love these palettes. :)

This is a creat post! I work with color every day of my life too. These are great!
Cheers!
Very interesting color combinations. I like Autumn Glow and Samhain Night the most, but they are all so pretty. I'm a color freak too and always trying neat color combinations. Thanks
I like the Jack O'Lantern, Samhain Night, & Wicked Witch.
It's interesting to see what colors other people enjoy. My personal favorite is Trick or Treat as that is most of the colors in my bedroom and house, just add dark red. But I like them all as well! :o)
