Embers of AutumnEmbers of Autumn

A mood of golden warmth, fading light, and cosy elegance

Colours:

Burnt orange, russet red, and amber gold
Deep forest green and chestnut brown
Plum, burgundy, and muted mustard
Hints of smoky grey and twilight blue

Imagery & Visuals:

Lanterns glowing on a cobbled street at dusk
Leaves drifting across misty woodland paths
A velvet cloak trailing through fallen leaves
Cups of mulled cider beside old books
Pumpkins and gourds on a rustic table
Hands wrapped in knitted gloves holding warm drinks
A fox pausing in golden light

Textures:

Soft wool, weathered leather, and crackling wood
Velvet, suede, and dried leaves
Woven baskets and rough parchment
Candlewax drips and misty windows

Mood & Atmosphere:

Warmth nestled against the chill
Nostalgic, wistful, and romantic
A season caught between celebration and reflection
Golden light fading into twilight

Inspirational Quotes & Words:

“Every leaf is a flame, every shadow a story”
“Autumn carries more gold in its pockets than any season”
“Between the falling and the frost, there is magic”
“Fires burn brightest as nights grow long”
