As summer fades, hair color is getting richer, warmer, and a little more dramatic. This fall, lighter summer blondes are making room for deep brunettes, chocolate tones, warm auburns, and rich reds. The season’s color story can be summed up in two words: Velvet Espresso and the Reign of Red.
From understated brunette shades to bold cherry tones, fall is all about adding depth, warmth, and dimension to your look.
Velvet Espresso: Deep & Sophisticated
Deep brunette is having a moment, and espresso is leading the way.
Espresso sits between a rich chocolate brown and an almost-black shade. Unlike a flat black, it has warmth and depth that can become more noticeable in the light. The result is sophisticated without feeling severe.
It’s also an incredibly versatile color. Espresso works beautifully with long layers, waves, sleek styles, and shorter cuts, making it an easy way to give a familiar hairstyle a richer, more polished feel.

If you’ve been considering going darker for fall, this is an elegant place to start.
Chocolate Brown: Warm & Classic
If espresso feels a little too dark, chocolate brown offers a softer alternative.
Rich chocolate shades have plenty of depth while maintaining warm brown tones. They complement the earthy colors of the season and work beautifully across a variety of hairstyles.
It’s also an easy transition for anyone who wants to move away from lighter hair without making a dramatic change.

Warm Auburn: Where Brown Meets Red
For those ready to introduce a little more color, warm auburn is a beautiful middle ground.
Auburn blends brown and red tones, creating warmth without the intensity of a bright red. Depending on the lighting, the color can appear more brunette or reveal its warmer red tones.
This makes auburn an especially appealing option if you’re curious about red but aren’t ready to make a dramatic change.

Cherry Red: The Bold Side of Fall
If you’re ready to embrace the red trend, deeper cherry shades are making a statement.
Cherry red combines vibrant red with darker undertones, creating a shade that feels bold, rich, and sophisticated. Unlike brighter reds that can feel particularly summery, deeper cherry tones have a moodier quality that works beautifully for fall.
It is a particularly striking choice when paired with glossy, flowing hair or a sleek, structured cut.
Try the Look: Carrie in FS2V_31V CHOC CHERRY HH
For a true statement shade, Carrie in FS2V_31V CHOC CHERRY HH brings together deep brunette and red tones for a rich chocolate-cherry color.
It’s a beautiful choice for anyone who has been curious about red and wants something deeper than a traditional bright red.
