The pumpkin spice latte has officially dropped at Starbucks, and I’m ready to break out the corduroy. Not because I knock back PSL’s (I actually take my coffee black), but I absolutely love fall and everything it implies: pumpkins, sweater-weather, football, bonfires, hot drinks, chilly days, and of course the vibrant foliage and colors.
Resplendent in its hues of amber and gold, autumn has inspired poets, writers, and logophiles everywhere. As an official word-nerd, I had to capture some of my favorite fall color words to describe this enchanting time of year.
Vermillion (Red): A rich and fiery shade of red, vermillion evokes the vibrant red leaves and accents that make autumn so visually striking.
Amberine (Gold): Inspired by the gemstone amber, amberine embodies the coppery, warm tones that dominate the fall foliage and landscape.
Xanthic (Yellow): Capturing the intense yellow shades that emerge this time of year, xanthic reflects the yellow or golden hues as leaves turn and sunlight mellows.
Cinnabar (Brown): Cinnabar perfectly expresses the warm, tawny colors of autumn’s earthy palette, reminiscent of cinnamon and warmth by a cozy fire.
Carotenoid (Orange): Carotenoid conveys the fiery, flame-like colors that blaze across autumn sunsets and of course everything pumpkin-y.
Cerulean (Blue): While typically associated with the sky, "cerulean" also describes the intense blue of clear autumn days, when the sky seems impossibly clean and vibrant.
So, next time you’re sitting around the campfire in your cozies, casually drop one of these gorgeous words to describe the beautiful autumn ambiance!
Or when you’re knocking back your daily PSL.
Cheers to fall, y'all!
