Fall Color: Crimson

Although the Crimson Tide might be our biggest rivals in football, we find ourselves drawn to this deep shade of red. The color crimson has quite a history, during the Elizabethan era crimson was associated with royalty and nobility. Today the color can be found strutting down the runway during New York Fashion Week.

Designer Diane Von Furstenberg used this bold shade of red in her Fall 2012 Collection.
