A pop of bright colour, a seasonal favourite, and muted hues in soft earth-inspired, colour. Autumn is the time for a style overhaul. Style director Louise Hilsz shares three Pantone colours to help you get out of a rut and embrace new season trends for your home, wardrobe and makeup routine.
Fuchsia
This is the perfect hue of pink for autumn. A bold shade that still packs a punch without being too bright.
