When the air gets crisp and the pumpkin spice is on standby, there’s only one logical next step: switching up your hair color. Fall is the season for transformation, and your strands are not exempt. Whether you're feeling bold, cozy, or somewhere in between, this year’s fall hair colors are basically a warm hug for your head.

Think rich espresso browns, cinnamon copper blends, golden honey drips, and yes—pumpkin spice everything. These aren’t just basic seasonal shades; they’re wearable, dimensional, and perfect for the season.

Ready to get inspired? Here’s what’s trending for Fall 2025 and the hues that are about to take over your salon mood board.

Fall 2025 Hair Color Trends

1. Pumpkin Spice Copper

It’s not fall without a little PSL energy. This shade is a warm, spicy copper with just a touch of golden orange—basically, your favorite latte but make it hair. It works especially well on medium to light bases and looks amazing with some soft, blended highlights for extra dimension.

Bonus: It fades beautifully, so even if you only commit for the season, it won’t go out with a weird brassiness.

 

 

2. Cinnamon Brunette

Not quite red, not quite brown—this is the cozy in-between shade we’re obsessed with. Cinnamon brunette has those rich, warm undertones that catch the light just right and add a little spice without being loud.

Ask your stylist for a brunette base with subtle auburn or copper undertones woven through. Think: sultry, but still super wearable for everyday.

 

 

3. Toasted Caramel Balayage

This one’s for the brunettes who want a fall refresh without going full-on blonde. Toasted caramel is a soft, honeyed hue that warms up dark bases and gives you that “I just came back from a weekend in Napa” glow.

Balayage is the move here—keep the roots natural and let the color melt into warmer mid-lengths and ends. Add a wave or two, and it’s peak autumn goddess.

 

 

4. Mulled Wine

Redheads (or wannabe redheads), this one’s for you. Mulled wine hair is a deep, berry-toned red with violet or burgundy undertones, like if merlot and plum had a really hot baby.

It’s rich, dramatic, and works beautifully on deeper skin tones or anyone who wants to make a statement without going neon. Gloss it up for that high-shine finish and thank us later.

 

 

5. Golden Chestnut

Chestnut is timeless, but this fall we’re seeing a warmer, glossier version with golden undertones. It flatters just about every skin tone and adds a subtle glow without the maintenance of full-on highlights.

This is also a great shade if you're easing into color and don’t want anything too drastic. Pair it with a shiny blowout or soft curls for major fall energy.

 

 

6. Espresso Black

Cool, mysterious, and chic—espresso black is the anti-trend trend. It’s rich and deep, but not quite jet-black. The undertone here is warm brown or neutral, which makes it less harsh and more wearable than traditional black dye.
