An ultimate neutral for fall! Chocolate brown serves as a great background for brighter colors and adds a cozy, earthy tone. This color would work great for stems, sunflower centers and much more! Take a look at Caron Simply Soft in Brown.

6. Slate Gray

A cooler neutral, slate gray can bring balance to brighter, more vibrant fall colors, giving your project a modern twist. One of my favorites to use is Pound of Love by Lion Brand because it is not only easy to use but has a considerable amount of yardage too.

7. Teal

For a dash of unexpected color, incorporate some teal. It pairs well with oranges and browns, offering a contrasting pop. This is a fun color to use if you want to try something out of the ordinary for Fall, that will also look great, too. One of my favorites to use is Red Heart Soft in Teal.

8. Cream or Beige

Softer neutrals like cream or beige can serve as excellent base colors. They make more vibrant colors stand out and add a comforting feel. You can see an example of crème used as a base in our pumpkin square.
