Believe it or not, this season, the color gurus are looking to nature’s rich palette for guidance and dishing out a range of tones as dynamic and warm. From the deepest, most earthy tones to the high-beam, vibrant hues, this season’s top hair color trends are all about asserting depth and dimension—with a touch of warmth. We asked leading celeb hairstylists to tell us which hues are the most in demand this season.
Prettiest Hair Colors:
A Brilliant Chocolate Brown
Included in this list are the stylist and colorist Mark Townsend, with celebrity clientele Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who says of this shade: “The hue chocolate brown gives its wearer a sophisticated and versatile look, perfect for several skin tones.” “It’s perfect for adding some depth and dimension without going too drastic. Think of it as a step up from your everyday brown, with a touch of richness and warmth,” he continues.
Burnt Copper
Also, a standout color this season is burnt copper, a shade that combines the fire of red with the depths of orange. Celebrity stylist Kristen Essr, who lists Lauren Conrad as one of her clients, explains that burnt copper is “the perfect autumnal shade to mirror the fiery hues of fall foliage” and “makes a beautiful pairing with medium to fair skin tones and adds a bold, eye-catching element to any look.”.
Moss Green
Moss green offers a refreshing choice for people who are willing to step out of the traditional spectrum. For example, it serves star hairstylist Adir Abergel, who tends to the crowns of actresses like Jennifer Garner. “Moss green is an optimal choice for those looking to play with something out of the norm,”¸ says Abergel. “It’s subtle yet striking, and goes perfectly with all the earthy tones that come with fall.” Moss green works best as a highlight or accent color; it pairs wonderfully with deeper base shades, such as deep brown or black.
Plum and Burgundy
Deep, plummy, and burgundy—a few variations of the same base color that will always trend for the season. According to celebrity colorist Rachel Bodt, who works with clients like Olivia Palermo, they should be recommended for a dramatic and chic flair. “Plum and burgundy offer a rich, deep hue that’s both glamorous and versatile,” Bodt explains. “These colors can be worn as an all-over shade or used in highlights and lowlights to add depth and complexity.”
Golden Blonde
This fall, golden blonde takes over as a more subdued alternative to the platinum shades of summer. According to hairstylist and color expert Sarah Potempa, who works with Julianne Hough, the shade is perfect for keeping a light look while still being a go-to option for fall. “Golden blonde brings warmth and brightness without being too stark,” said Potempa. “It’s such a great way to keep a sunny disposition as the weather cools down.” Potempa says you can add a little honey or caramel undertones to that golden blonde for a little more dimension and sophistication.
Soft Ash Brown
Also on-trend this autumn is soft ash brown—its cool, muted characteristics contrast this season’s otherwise typically glowing, warm color palette. A-list hairdresser Jason Lee called it “the perfect choice for those who prefer a more understated look with a touch of modern sophistication.” The cool, underlying tone of ash brown gives a chic, sophisticated option that will go with a broad selection of outfits and makeup looks. Lee recommends a soft ash brown with just a touch of balayage highlights to warm it up and add a bit of movement. This won’t only show some wonderful light reflections within the colorwork but will also provide a naturally sun-kissed look that’s trending for fall.
