Benjamin Moore just released the 'Feels Like Fall' palette, a seasonal whole-home color scheme inspired by the organic tones that surround us during this time of year. While the palette features a few typical hues that crop up in fall color schemes (burnt oranges and burgundy, we're looking at you), timeless warm neutrals and deeper shades create plenty of balance.

'When you think of fall, certain colors like taupe, amber, burgundy, and persimmon often come to mind,' Arianna Barone, Color Marketing Manager at Benjamin Moore, tells . 'Those are the colors we tend to see a lot of through this season change. We wanted to create a color palette that stretched a bit outside of that but still had the cozy, inviting feeling that comes inherently with fall. You have those more iconic fall shades, and those that feel a bit more unexpected but still cohesive. The neutrals bring the balance and versatility to an otherwise saturated palette.'

Featuring a scattering of the usual fall color trends and some unexpected additions, the palette balances freshness with moody, rich tones. 'Because the palette isn’t filled with only fall foliage colors, that prevents it from feeling overly seasonal,' Arianna explains. 'When we create these seasonal palettes, the expectation isn’t that people will repaint their homes every season, but if they are trying to create that feeling that fall gives, these are good colors to consider.'

'While these colors could all work together in a space, I would choose one for the walls and bring in the other colors through artwork, textiles, accents, etc,' she adds. 'These colors could also serve as a beautiful whole-home palette offering a charming color flow from room to room.'

First in the mix is the earthy red paint, . Its faded finish creates a softer, more subtle look that makes walls drenched in burgundy feel less overwhelmed and dark, perfect for small rooms or spaces that lack daylight. 'A nuanced hue that captures the warmth of brown and red-toned kiln-fired clay, is a red-based brown that brings warmth and presence to a space,' says Helen Shaw, Director of Marketing (International), Benjamin Moore. 'Pair it with muted cream tones for an elegant, timeworn feel, or introduce rich bronze accents to bring a touch of Old World opulence.'

A fall palette wouldn't be complete without a brown-infused orange. Refreshingly, feels more like a warm neutral than your stereotypical pumpkin orange, making it a timeless shade that lasts beyond fall. ' is a deep, distinguished shade with warm yellow and brown undertones,' Helen says. 'Its richness brings depth and dimension to a room, but balancing it with a warm, sandy beige or an almost-neutral green keeps the scheme feeling relaxed rather than overtly seasonal.'

To balance the warmer, richer hues, there's a trusty neutral paint throw in the mix, too. The ultimate beige, Benjamin Moore's is a liveable alternative, perfect for pairing alongside the red, deep green, or orange for balance. ' is a fresh, sophisticated beige inspired by stately sandstone façades,' says Helen. 'Delicate green-brown undertones give this soft neutral added depth, while pairing it with a feathery light blue creates a calm, airy feel in a bedroom or bathroom. In a living room or dining room, introduce rich brick through upholstery, curtains, or accent furniture for added warmth and contrast.'

is not the only neutral in the palette. A warm gray paint brings a clean simplicity to counteract the bolder autumnal hues. Bridging the gap between the red and deep browns, its purple undernotes bring a real sense of cohesion. 'Hints of violet and brown bring a velvety richness to , giving this medium gray a modern, sophisticated feel,' Helen adds. 'Pair it with a cool, dark blue-gray for a scheme that feels refined and quietly dramatic, or use it alongside softer neutrals to create a more understated backdrop.'

An almost black paint with a rich brown finish is the moodiest out of the six shades. ' is a rich black grounded by brown undertones, offering warmth and depth while retaining the versatility of a neutral,' Helen says. 'It’s an ideal choice for spaces where a bolder backdrop is needed, from cozy snugs to characterful kitchens. For maximum impact, use it across the walls, ceiling and woodwork to create an enveloping, cocoon-like finish, then layer in rich furnishings, soft lighting and candlelight for a warm winter retreat.'

Last is a dark green hue that evokes a real seasonal feel, reminiscent of wintry pine trees. 'A dark, muted olive green inspired by the lush rolling hills of the Italian countryside, is rich, warm and naturally grounding,' she adds. 'Use it on its own in a home office or kitchen for a more enveloping feel, or soften the look with a muted sage green with a soothing gray cast. It’s a good example of how deeper, autumn-inspired shades can feel timeless when balanced with quieter tones.'

Benjamin Moore's '' palette is the perfect balance of seasonal and livable. Yes, there's a scattering of deep oranges and earthy reds, but it's balanced by timeless neutrals that make the palette feel enduring, classic, and refreshingly far from stereotypical.

'These six shades capture the warmth and richness we naturally gravitate towards in autumn, while offering a more considered take on traditional fall color,' Helen explains. 'The palette brings together deep neutrals, earthy tones, and softer, muted hues, creating a versatile collection that can be layered together or used individually throughout the home.'
