Must-Try Hair Colors for Autumn

Autumn is approaching, bringing with it a wave of exciting hair color trends designed to keep you looking vibrant and stylish as the weather cools. Here are the must-try hair colors for the season, along with top product recommendations from our experts.

Warm Hues Inspired by Fall Foliage

As always, you can’t go wrong with opting for a rich and vibrant shade that fits perfectly with autumn’s color palette—think deep reds, burnt coppers, rich golds, and dark browns. And don’t forget all the stunning shades in between! There’s plenty of room for creativity to help you look your best. Here are our favorites: Copper Blonde will continue to make a big splash this autumn, and you can’t go wrong with our Hair Color Of The Year 2024—Electric Copper Blonde 88.44. This intense shade offers a rich and vibrant warmth that’s perfect for the season.

Red Wine 

This deep, luxurious shade is ideal for darker hair bases. For a bold color match that will stand out on already lightened mids and ends, we recommend Revlonissimo Colorsmetique™ REDS in shade 55.60 Intense Dark Red, and COLOR EXCEL GLOWLAYAGE Ruby Fire in shade 6.660 for a luscious red.

Cool and Muted Tones for a Subtle Change

It’s time to switch up those platinum tones for a subtle yet chic hue with added interest. We love these soft tones by Color Excel Gloss. Sand .31 offers a beautiful beige blonde that gently warms up cooler tones, while Medium Golden Blonde 7.3 provides a luminous shine that enhances any complexion. This acidic hair color gloss treatment boasts a no-lift, no-compromise formula with patent-pending technology that reverses damage from chemical processes and rebuilds hair structure, restoring its natural quality.

Darker Shades for Depth and Dimension

If you’re ready for a warmer tone, it’s time to let go of the ‘Beachy Blonde’ and embrace the ‘Beachy Brunette.’ This look blends light, sandy brown hair with honey blonde highlights for a natural, sun-kissed effect that ticks all the trend boxes. Honey and caramel blonde are right on trend, and the natural, grown-out darker base combined with a reverse Balayage technique offers a lower-maintenance option that complements all skin tones. For a super shiny base tone, we recommend Color Excel’s 5.24 Light Iridescent Chestnut Brown.

Bold and Dark

Bewitching black is back and better than ever! A bold, super-shiny dark mane is set to turn heads this autumn, and we predict it will be incredibly popular. We adore the cool, natural tone of 1 Black by Revlonissimo Color Sublime™. This ultra-glossy, deep shade comes with the added benefit of being a clean, vegan, ammonia-free permanent hair color. Infused with natural and organic cold-pressed oils, it delivers up to 100% gray coverage, vibrant color, and superior hair care—all in one.

Balayage and Ombré

Balayage combined with ombré continues to be a top trend for autumn, offering a lived-in, natural look that adds a bespoke edge to your style while hitting all the right trend notes. To achieve the perfect pre-lightened base, we recommend using our Magnet™ range, which features an exclusive BondIN System™. This system protects and repairs hair from the inside out, minimizing the impact of external aggressors for results that go beyond the surface. Balayage will keep your hair looking dimensional and radiant throughout the season.

Maintenance Tips for Your Autumn Hair Color

To maintain your autumn hair color, opt for shampoos, conditioners, and other care and styling products specifically formulated for color-treated hair, like the RE/START™ Color range. These products are designed to be gentle on your hair while maintaining the vibrancy of your color.

Rinse with Cool Water

Wash your hair using lukewarm or cool water rather than hot. Hot water can cause your color to fade more quickly by stripping it away. After conditioning, finish with a cool water rinse to help close the hair cuticles and lock in moisture.

Protect Against Heat

Minimize the use of heat styling tools that can speed up color fade and also damage the hair. If you need to use them, always apply a heat protectant like RE/START Balayage Hair Care Cream.

Guard Against UV Exposure

Safeguard your hair from UV rays by using products that offer UV protection when you’re outdoors. Sun exposure can cause your color to fade and your hair to dry out.

Deep Conditioning

Incorporate deep conditioning treatments into your routine to keep your hair hydrated and healthy. Consider using the RE/START™ Color Protective Jelly Mask.

To maintain moisture and keep your color looking vibrant, have a color-refreshing mask on hand to prevent fading before your next salon visit. We recommend Nutri Color™ Filters, which can give your hair a glow-up in just 3 to 15 minutes. These masks help maintain those vibrant tones all year round.

Consulting with Your Hairstylist

As always, book a personalized color consultation with a professional. While there are plenty of tips and inspiration available, meeting your stylist in person is the best way to achieve a bespoke color and select products tailored to your hair type, skin tone, and lifestyle. You’ll also get a skin test and expert color advice to ensure safety and stunning results. Revlon Professional® offers over 300 shades across our sub-brands, so whether you’re aiming for a subtle change or a bold new look, your favorite salon will be equipped to help you achieve the perfect autumn style.
