We tend to think of fall colors in the family of rusts and browns, pumpkins and mustards. But you can also reach across the color wheel and pull in some cooler hues. Shades of indigo and slate are a perfect match for warm harvest tones, complementing them beautifully without taking away their autumn feeling.
So here is some fall color palette inspiration – with a few projects and recipes along the way.

What colors spring to mind when you think of autumn?
Beautiful collection. The colors beautifully complement each other. I agree with the others, a feast for eyes.
Thank you!
What a feast and such gorgeous pictures. Stephanie, you are very talented.
Well, I can’t take credit for most of the photography, but I do love finding interesting color palettes!
Lovely post – all those photos, recipes, and a door in Venice thrown in just to tempt! As Jess said, gorgeous!
Thank you!
GORGEOUS! Those carrots on that blue plate! Those pumpkins! That stack of plates! I am a sucker for pretty pottery. Loving the harvest-and-indigo theme here.
Me too. If I had lots of money and lots of space, I would buy so many cute plates!!
omG! What a feast for the senses. And why am I so hungry now?
Shades of indigo are now on my fall palette.
Haha! Nice! Send me a photo!
