Dramatic and earthy can best describe this year's fall shades. The paper industry has always been closely aligned with fashion shades of the season. Fall colors are here and shades of Harvest represent good and plenteous times.

Russett and Moss are words ranging from the 12th-15th century and are both "earthy" by content. These colors can be combined or separate, in either instance, the senses are tantalized by either sight, smell or touch. Most people have encountered the rustic shade of Russett with its reddish-brown, homespun appearance. Moss, on the other hand has worked its way into our world while creeping along the wetlands. Fashion and paper have also appreciated this variable yellow-green range while pairing itself with other popular harvest colors and truly representing the fall season.

Gold we know from the earliest centuries represents worth, quality and value. Gold being one of the more constant shades throughout the seasons cannot be dismissed yet is a highly desired addition to the shades of harvest. The proper shade of gold will always elevate your color combinations to the higher, more attractive levels by simply weaving in this glimmer to complete the combination of colors. Not to forget that gold can range into the antique family which then can stand alone as yet another rustic, earthy color of the season.

Caramel with its delicious shades of brown, yellow and orange create a charming mix of harvest colors that complete the season. Mix these beautiful tones ranging from light caramel to deep brown and wrap it up with a splash of bordeaux or red and you are ready to show off your fall combinations.

Shades of fall for 2010 are endless and can be combined amongst themselves or stand alone. Don't forget to consider the other popular shades such as olive, bordeaux, eggplant and pewter. Take a moment to look at the old and see what can become new by matching the earthy shades of fall with something bright. Set the spirit of the season back to the good, plenteous times.
