Get Schooled in Color — Learn the Trending Hues for This Season

The colors of autumn are abundant. From apple red to golden amber to verdant moss, the prevalent hues reflect both nature’s subdued pigments and our culture’s affection for the bright and bold. Now it’s time to learn what’s trending for the upcoming season. See how fall’s fashion trends translate into the world of special event design.

Northern Tribes


This trend incorporates the art and lifestyle of native tribes worldwide. It is exemplified by the use of fringe, fur, feathers, and suede in colors such as moss, oak buff, and burgundy.  Décor is reflected in imaginative references such as teepees, wood, and animals.

Bohemian Chic


Seemingly clashing patterns and prints, with Moroccan-inspired décor pieces create the Bohemian Chic look. Colors are bold and abundant with jewel tones like Cerulean Blue and Cadmium Orange. Décor is rustic, yet opulent.

Wintery Pastels


Spring’s pastel trend is transitioning into fall.  Blush, mint and powder blue work well when grounded with hues of gray or gold.
