This fall, possibly you will experience the boisterous realm of black, and if so, It would not be incorrect to say that with the infinite combination possibilities this ‘magical color’ should be instantly added to your fall wardrobe.

What Is The Perfect Dark Autumn Color Palette? 

The fall season is all about darker color palettes. The deep fall color palette consists of rich and earthy hues – think of the warm shades of the fall leaves, wooden trees, and the profound evergreens. It is obvious to get attracted to ‘bold and strong’ hues. And if you are somewhat like me who always gets biased towards wearing black, please read on to know the perfect fall colors that go with black.

Is Black Considered A Fall Color?

Black is the most prominent Fall color. According to a fall color analysis it is an excellent hue that is outstandingly displayed each fall season. Apart from stunning attributes like dependability, firmness, warmth, and approachability; (from the color theory viewpoint), this sophisticated color also offers an exceptional modish feel.

I often hear people saying ‘’Can I wear black for fall season? Which season wears black the best? How do I make black look pleasing?’’ Firstly, there are no ‘hard and fast rules, when it comes to wearing darker colors such as black. Also, there are always several ways to style various fall/autumn colors combo with black. One of the major advantages of black is that it is a neutral hue. This gives us endless mix-and-match combination options. 

Color Combinations to Wear This Fall Season

Whether you opt for an all-black look or use black as an accent color, the neutral hue never fails to surprise you. There are several ways to style black with various other fall colors.

All Black

Well… this one is my all-time fav. A head-to-toe black outfit. Whether you want a subtle, feminine look or a laidback casual vibe, an all-black outfit goes well with all styles. Try experimenting with differences between simple and subdued to add profundity to your all-black outfit.

Combining black, grey, and white in the same outfit or wearing dark greys along with a majority black outfit; is a very influential way to stay monochromatic while maintaining a fine hue balance at the same time.

Black-Olive Green


Olive green serves as an exceptional transitional hue, and when paired with black, it epitomizes a splendid yet refined trend for fall/autumn. Enhance your ensemble by matching black pants with a stylish olive-green top or donning a sophisticated black jacket over olive high-waisted trousers. Complement your outfit with black boots and a sleek black underarm bag to achieve a polished look.

Black-Brown

Black and brown are very adaptable fall color combinations. Both colors complement each other flawlessly. Brown covers an extensive range of tones from khaki, camel brown to deep dark brown. You can pair solid shades with black to create a bolder effect. Moreover, warm color tones; which usually have a red undertone such as cinnamon brown, mahogany, deep rust, and terracotta brown are other impeccable choices to team up with black. Such combinations are appropriate workwear options. However, a brown vintage dress and black boots work best for lavish occasions. 

Gray-Black

Subtle grays or a darker shade; gray tones with black always look stylish yet sophisticated. Apart from black, you can also try combining gray with colors like charcoal, brown and beige. Encompass a hint of red orange or pink to augment your outfit.

Blue-Black

Styling black with dark blue is fashionable, chic and adds a definitive aura to your appearance. Black easily blends within the assortment of blues for a complete look, but also works effortlessly as an accent color. Try pairing a black coat with  trousers in diverse shades of blue for a contemporary contrast or you can always opt for a classic black and blue denim combination. As they say, failing is out of the question when compounding two classics in one look.

Combining numerous fall colors with black offers a plethora of opportunities to elevate your everyday look. Thanks to its organic inspirations, black always has a fresh and evergreen feel that can be further enhanced by the selection of the fabric, silhouette, and detailing of the design. Fabrics like pure cashmere, jersey, or tough leather govern the depth and affluence of the black color. You can also pair matte and shiny fabrics, stiff with fine texture and extreme detailing with minimalist patterns within a black look.
