Autumn color palettes.

Make the colors work

More than a set of swatches.

Choose a dominant warm note

Terracotta & Ink emphasizes clay; Ochre & Olive is more yellow-green. Put the dominant hue on one recurring role instead of scattering every seasonal color across the navigation. This collection is an editorial seasonal selection, not a rule about what autumn must look like.

Make seasonal styling replaceable

Keep tokens named by their job, such as primary or surface, so a seasonal campaign can change without rewriting component styles. Preserve text, focus and error-message clarity when replacing the accents. An orange brand highlight is not automatically a warning.

Prepare for photographs and dark mode

Warm photographs can blend into tan panels. Add space and clear captions before increasing saturation. For evening or dark variants, choose lighter action colors deliberately and recheck their label contrast. Printed invitations or merchandise need a separate print workflow.
