Deep oranges, warm reds, golden yellows, rich browns, and the occasional surprise of crimson — the most painterly season.
Autumn is the most painterly season. As chlorophyll retreats from the leaves, the pigments that were always there — carotenoids and anthocyanins — are revealed in a last, extravagant display that lasts only weeks before the frost takes them. The result is a palette that feels simultaneously warm and melancholic: the amber of maple, the rust of oak, the deep crimson of liquidambar, the gold of birch catching low afternoon light. Against a sky that has shifted from summer blue to a cooler, more considered grey-blue, these colours glow as if lit from within. The air smells of woodsmoke and damp earth. This palette draws from all of that — the warmth of the fire and the chill of the shadow, the brilliance of the leaf and the darkness of the bark beneath.
