There are many opportunities to create interesting pallettes with them. For instance, one could create burnt orange reds and browns with low contrast or go for vivid greens with high saturation oranges. A multitude of lovely colors to pick from. I love the Autumn shades.

I actually considered the colors and overall feel of my website more representative of summer than autumn (I designed it in July afterall). But I would use these colors all year round. Besides blue, earthy tones are my favorite colors. Hello Phil, thanks for the mention.

For example Interllectual.com's shades remind me strongly of Autumn. Perhaps that is because I live up north where the leaves actually change color in the fall. Rumor has it that they do not in the south. :P Autumn tones to me are more brown, dark yellow and brownish red shades rather than olive green.

(Or Canadian.) I'd say a green and brown/red combo can get the Autumn effect. I guess it's just a personal opinion on the colours of Autumn. I think the most "Autumny" thing I've seen is a John Lewis television ad. I’m in the UK - Autmun is grey here. :) I’d love to see an American Autumn. (Or Canadian.)
