Why is orange associated with autumn?

Chlorophyll production is dependent upon warm and sunny weather, so once autumn takes hold, the existing levels of chlorophyll within a leaf begin to break down. As a direct result the green colour rapidly begins to fade and reveals the natural carotenoids left behind, which are commonly red and orange in colour

Burnt orange, with its rich and warm hue, offers a versatile palette that can be paired with a variety of colors to create different moods and aesthetics. For a harmonious and earthy feel, burnt orange pairs beautifully with shades of brown, taupe, and cream, evoking the colors of autumn. If a more vibrant and energetic look is desired, combining burnt orange with teal or turquoise can create a striking contrast. For a sophisticated and elegant appearance, pairing burnt orange with deep navy or charcoal grey that brings a sense of balance and refinement. Additionally, soft pastels like blush pink or pale lavender can complement burnt orange for a gentle and romantic touch.
