Brand design inspo: Autumn color palette


Today marks the first day of autumn, so I made a custom color palette to celebrate! I love the changing colors, the cooler weather, and all of the new adventures that autumn tends to bring around when it blows through.

As I get older, fall is becoming my favorite season.⁠

In the same way that seasons affect people's moods, they also influence my creativity.⁠ Autumn is probably the season that inspires me the most. The adjectives to describe fall are endless:

  • Adventurous

  • Balanced

  • Calming

  • Colorful

  • Gentle

  • Restful

  • Rustic

  • Moody

  • Natural

  • Warm

All of these words evoke an emotion. When you’re thinking about your brand colors, think about the adjective that matches the feeling you want people to have when they experience your brand.

Hex codes

Light neutral: #F8F7F2

Primary color: #353722

Complementary color: #A69981

Accent color: #6C3D22

Dark: #191919
