Halloween Color Schemes

October is one of the eeriest times of year: Halloween, colder temperatures, the time change, end of year tax prep… it’s all pretty frightening. While most people associate this time of year with black and orange, there’s a much wider color palette we think you should consider for this spooky season.

If you’re looking for a color scheme to spruce up your latest seasonal advertisement or your creepy social media graphics, consider pulling swatches from one of these boards. In addition to the traditional orange and black we’re pulling in earth tones and shades of purple, green, red, white, and yellow. We’re even playing around with a few pops of pink!

Sinister Skies

Nothing evokes a Spooktacular feeling quite like a cloudy night sky. In this color scheme, a classic pumpkin orange pairs with goldenrod, a deep red, and an inky blue. 


Saturated Skeletons

These bright colors aren’t something you would usually associate with Halloween – but the dayglo orange and pink speak to the vibrant lights of a late night party.

Haunted Hues

Warm glowing lights illuminate the windows of this haunted mansion — the charred stone and cloudy sky inspire a more muted palette of deep orange and dark blue. With it’s toned down colors, this palette will work well for all of fall.


Macabre Mask

Pops of rich pink and teal stipple this haunting Day of the Dead face paint. The strong contrast between the deep black and accent colors creates an evocative calavera design.


Pale Pumpkins

You don’t have to use orange and black for halloween — and pumpkins don’t even have to be orange! These washed out hues show a different take on a classic halloween symbol.

Frightening Forest

At first this image just looks shades of blue - but peer a little closer and you’ll see deep magenta and rich greens. Who knows what else might be lurking behind these colorful trees…

Eldritch Eyes

Black cats are synonymous with bad luck, making them the perfect emblem for All Hallows Eve. Different shades of grey pepper his fur and his haunting green eyes will stay with you for days to come.

Color Stories: Fall Looks for 2018

What can we say? We love fall! We know it’s still hotter than heck, but we can’t help but get excited about the impending pumpkin spice, fall leaves, and chunky sweaters. 

In fact, we also got really excited about fall last year on the blog ... and the year before … and the year before that. Basically, creating fall inspired mood boards is becoming a regular thing for us. However, this year we’re pushing ourselves to go beyond red, orange, and yellow to come up with a more out of the box set of fall palettes.  

We’ll admit, a few traditional fall colors worked their way into our mood boards – but overall we stuck to less traditional hues to keep things fresh. 

Take a look at what we came up with here – and, let us know which is your favorite in the comments!

Luscious Lake

The lake in this photo looks peaceful, but these deep colors evoke a feeling of something a little darker. Deep, rich jewel tones gives off a luscious feel.

Crisp and Clean

Fall is all about baking and enjoying the outdoors. That’s why this tasty close up was a perfect fit for us. Cool greens and a muted ice blue speak to winter being right around the corner. 


Culinary Creativity

Family recipes abound in autumn, making it the best time to draw inspiration from your culinary supplies. Warm honey, flour, and a few kitchen tools informed this color scheme. 


Bold Bounty

This plenitude of heirloom tomatoes was perfect for a more primary color scheme. These brighter hues are a fun alternative to the soft side of fall.

Dusty Detritus

Downed leaves make for some beautiful colors. We loved pulling inspiration from this fallen foliage. Muted lavender, subdued peach, and an understated charcoal have a soothing effect. 


Foggy Fowl

Soft lighting sets the mood here with creamy taupe, a soft sage, and a rusty brown.

Mood Boards: Falling into Fall

October is finally here and we’re ready for all things fall. It’s time to trade in our summer sandals for boots, grab our favorite cardigan, and eat ridiculous amounts of pumpkin flavored baked goods.

In the spirit of the new season, we’ve put together a little collection of autumn inspired mood boards:

Pumpkin Spice

Yes, we know all things pumpkin spice are a bit overrated, but we couldn’t resist! It just wouldn’t be fall without it.

Ember

This color scheme was inspired by the warm glow of seasonal candles and the relaxing crackle of a campfire.

Woodland Escape

There’s nothing better than going on a walk on a crisp autumn day. We love the feel of a cool morning breeze and the sound of leaves as they crunch with each step.

Cozy Cabin

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy freshly picked apples and endless mugs of hot chocolate.

Autumn Leaves

Our final board was inspired by the simple beauty of the changing leaves. A soft touch of yellow and green add a subtle dash of color to chocolate brown.
