As the leaves change color, most of us beauty junkies get the itch to do the same to our hair. But in the sea of fall hair colors, it's easy to get lost. After all, hair color inspiration comes from everywhere.

"Beyond the looks seen on the runway and the red carpet, inspiration for trends can be drawn from our everyday surroundings," says celebrity colorist Kate Reid for Color.Me by Kevin Murphy. "Architecture and accessories, especially precious metals like copper, rose gold and yellow gold, which are desirable shades at the moment."

Less expectedly, fall hair color inspiration also comes from economic factors, adds Revlon hair color expert Miquel Garcia. "Hair color is very sensitive to economical growth, since customers go more for low-maintenance techniques -- like ombré -- during hard times," he says. (Read: New baby, new job, etc.).
