Aurora Red offers a pop of passionate color against the muted tones of fall. Exciting and dynamic yet sensual, this color screams confidence in any room. It’s the perfect accent color for your fall décor and can be used in floral arrangements, bohemian rugs, decorative throw pillows, and more. If you’re daring, try it as a base color by painting it on your walls for a dramatic effect.

Spicy Mustard is decidedly the most exotic addition to this season’s fall color palette. Uplifting and vibrant, this season’s yellow is luxuriously zesty. When shopping for fall decorations, look for this color in geometric shapes and abstract designs, and feel free to try varying textures to truly show off this unique color.

Potter’s Clay is a rusty burnt orange that is this season’s adaptation of fall’s orange pumpkins and changing leaves. Rustic and earthy, this rustic color can serve as a bold accent or as a grounded neutral base for your fall décor. This classic yet trendy color is popular in both bohemian and modern styles.

Warm Taupe is a warm and inviting color that evokes feelings of comfort and stability. Timeless and classic, it is a reliable color that will never steer you wrong when it comes to your fall decorating. Use Warm Taupe as an earthy base color, or as an accent against a white backdrop.

Bodacious is the most vibrant color in the palette, and is probably the most unexpected. Although it has a huge personality, and may seem to want to stand alone, it is actually quite versatile and pairs well with pinks and reds. This bright purple with notes of sophisticated pink is capable of turning fashion accents into fashion statements. Make a statement in your fall décor by using Bodacious to mix things up and add an element of surprise and excitement.

Dusty Cedar is inspired by the 2016 Pantone Color of the Year: Rose Quartz. This dusty and rosy pink shade evokes feelings of warmth. When decorating for fall, use this color to create an inviting space that’s both uniquely trendy yet charmingly classic.

Lush Meadow is reminiscent of the deep green hues of the emerald gemstone. It evokes elegance and sophistication, and offers a depth of color that’s incredibly rich yet refreshingly bright. As the leaves turn this fall, use Lush Meadow to bring back the exuberance of the fading leaves.

Bring the colors of fall into your home with these fall décor ideas based on the Fall 2016 Pantone palette featuring: Aurora Red, Spicy Mustard, Potter’s Clay, Warm Taupe, Bodacious, Dusty Cedar, and Lush Meadow.
