Bright colors such as Tangerine Tango might have ruled over the spring and summer, but this season’s “it” colors are deeper and darker. Color is a great way to vamp up your wardrobe and this fall/winter, you’ll instantly fall in love with oxblood, eggplant, and deep teal shades. We’ve scanned the looks from the fall runways and narrowed down the top fall 2012 color trends so use this post as guide throughout your fall and winter shopping.
French Roast
This rich and robust color was named one of the top trends by Pantone. It’s a tasty, sophisticated brown color trend that is a great alternative to the black and charcoal basics typically worn in the fall.

Statement Making Red
This fiery cherry red is a bold hue that makes a statement. Designer’s had fun mixing this hue with this season’s strongest textures.

Honey Gold
Another color on the Pantone fall 2012 color wheel. This mellow, burnished yellow suggests the soft-muted tones of sunlight to brighten a fall day.
