Color Me Autumn: Fall Color Trends Inspired by the Season

Oct 3

Nature's showing off right now, and we're taking notes.

This is an array of different hair color used as a backdrop to show trending color — Hair color shades are warm and juicy this season with hues like deep plum, chocolate mousse, teddy bear blonde and deep copper.

Can we just talk about how gorgeous it is outside right now? Walking through Choate Park in Medway or driving through any of our MetroWest neighborhoods is spectacular! The trees are on fire! Deep red sugar maples, oaks mixing chocolate and gold, and birch trees glimmer like perfectly placed highlights.

It's the kind of beautiful that makes you slow down and actually notice. And honestly? It got us thinking about this fall's hottest hair color trends.

At b.LUXE Hair and Makeup Studio, our clients are falling hard for autumn-inspired hair color, with the rich, dimensional tones that make our New England autumns so legendary. These seasonal hues feel both on-trend and authentically you.

The Brunette Takeover

This season, brunettes are absolutely having their moment! The "Expensive Brunette" trend is all about adding depth, dimension, and high-gloss shine to darker tones; a perfect choice for clients seeking that luxurious, high-end look without the high-maintenance upkeep. This movement towards more natural shades has inspired some irresistibly cute names along the way - think favorite drinks, desserts, and yes, even stuffed animals! Haven't you heard of Teddy Bear Brunette? This popular twist on the modern "bronde" trend combines a deeper brunette base with honey blonde babylights. This technique balances warm tones and gives a subtle glow and brightness to brown hair without crossing into blonde territory.

Brown Sugar Brunette is like your favorite fall latte - warm, inviting, and absolutely irresistible. This gorgeous mid-toned brunette delivers all the cozy vibes with its rich blend of caramel and maple highlights that glow like late autumn sunlight. It's sophisticated yet effortless, and will leave people asking what you've done to look so good.

Brownie Batter Brunette is the richest of our fall favorites - think molten brownie batter in all its deep, chocolatey glory. This stunning shade goes darker and more dramatic than Brown Sugar Brunette, with a luscious chocolate base that's pure indulgence. Warm caramel highlights are delicately woven throughout, creating a subtle glow rather than dramatic contrast, giving you that perfect low-maintenance luxury. Unlike the honey-kissed lightness of Teddy Bear Brunette, Brownie Batter embraces the deeper, more decadent side of brown hair. Its warm undertones radiate sophistication with just enough dimension to keep things interesting.

The Redhead Renaissance

Redheads are absolutely stepping out this season with shades that are anything but basic! What's really exciting is how dimensional red hair has become with multi-tonal effects that blend warm and cool undertones. No more flat, single-shade colors! The reds we're loving right now are all about complexity. And Cherry Cola is "the red" of the moment with a rich chocolate base and deep cinnamon highlights for a sophisticated, edgy look. Sun-Kissed Copper gives classic ginger a luxurious upgrade with richer, warmer, more wearable tones that stand out without being overwhelming. And Strawberry Blonde? It's the sweet spot between blonde and red, with golden undertones that help warm and soften fair complexions.

Going For Gold (And Silver!)

Now, don't think our golden girls are sitting this autumnal party out! Even our most devoted blondes are embracing deeper roots and effortless grow-outs that stretch appointments longer - a total blessing during the holiday rush. Take for instance, Butter Blonde. This warm, creamy shade mimics the richness of melted butter - soft, dimensional, and naturally radiant. Honey Blonde gives you that perfect "just back from vacation" vibe without ever leaving town. Then there's Bronde - the holy grail of low-maintenance color that blends brown and blonde so beautifully, it looks like you were born with perfectly luminous hair. And if you're feeling adventurous, Golden Silver brings just enough edge with its gorgeous metallic shimmer.

Our gray clients can get in on the low-maintenance trend too! Instead of covering your grays, ask your stylist about Gray-Blending, a technique that blends lowlights and highlights with your gray hair. Think tortoise shell or mosaic tiles - beautiful hues working in harmony.
