Autumn is a wonderful time to work on crafts and coloring pages. October is filled with tons of inspiring colors everywhere you look.
In the northern hemisphere, the onset of fall covers the world in vibrant orange, red, and yellow hues as the leaves change colors. This is also the time when apples, cranberries, pumpkins, and other colorful foods are harvested.
Halloween adds its own colorful flair with costumes, decorations, and the overall spookiness of the season.
Here is a compilation of 13 color combinations to inspire your Halloween and fall-themed crafts and coloring pages.
1. Glowing Jack-O’-Lantern Colors
The candle burning inside this spooky Jack-O’-Lantern makes the pumpkin glow. This color palette is filled with dark reds, orange, and yellows.
2. Classic Colorful Halloween

3. Classic Candy Corn Colors

4. Creepy Zombie Doll Colors
What’s Halloween without a little spookiness? The colors inspired by this zombie doll are a little different than classic vibrant autumn colors. The dark greenish-blue, deep blood red, beige, and off-white make an interesting, if not slightly disturbing, dark-themed color combination.
