Fall is here, and it's the perfect time for a photoshoot. But with so many colors to choose from, how do you know which ones will look best? In this blog post, we're going to dive deep into fall color palettes for men's photoshoots. I'll start by talking about fall colors and their significance in fashion, as well as how they can influence photoshoot themes. Then, I'll unveil seven unique fall color palettes generated by the artificial intelligence (AI) from OpenAI, DALL-E-3 and ChatGPT.
From embracing cool and calm tones to exploring warm neutrals, each palette has its own unique personality. I'll also give you tips on how to style outfits with these colors and enhance your photoshoot experience with the right lighting, natural backdrops, props, etc.. Finally, I'll show you what makes the Pantone Colors for Fall 2023 stand out and how I used DALL-E-3 to generate these amazing palettes. So get ready to step up your fall photoshoot game with these must-try color palettes!
Please remember that these palettes are only a guide and the result of my having a little fun with an Artificial Intelligence. AI is simply a tool to enhance creativity and productivity and the only way to learn about it is to play with it. You can get access to a free version of OpenAI's ChatGPT-3.5, Anthropic's Claude, and OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 through BingChat in Creative Mode.
If you are fascinated by AI and its potential, I invite you to follow some luminaries in the space. One person with his thumb on bleeding-edge information on artificial intelligence is Prof. Ethan Mollick of The Wharton School. I highly recommend that you follow him on LinkedIn and read his newsletter, One Useful Thing. Paul Roetzer of the Marketing AI Institute is another guru that I follow in this space. Great weekly podcast! 😉 Finally, my friend Dr. Marie Haynes has gone deep down the AI rabbit hole from the standpoint of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). She has a great weekly newsletter that's chocked full of the news and her insights on all things Google.

Using Artificial Intelligence to generate Autumn Color Palettes
Discover the mesmerizing fall color palettes curated by DALL-E-3, designed specifically for men's photoshoots. These palettes strike the perfect balance between warm and cool tones, offering a visually stunning and unique visual experience. Step away from traditional autumn hues and explore new combinations that push the boundaries of fall colors. Taking inspiration from nature, DALL-E-3's fall color palettes blend shades like dusky desert sand, teal, and peach with pops of bright colors like rose dust and melon. These captivating palettes and take your wardrobe to the next level. There are a million different combinations that could be envisioned from the colors used, but I wanted to see if AI could generate better examples than I found on Pinterest. Only you can judge the results. Me? I'm learning what this AI can actually do. And, what it can't.
Why use Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
When you're looking for ideas for a wardrobe for a photo session, the first place I usually go is social media, i.e. Pinterest. The main reason I turned to AI was that I didn't like what I found on Pinterest for clothing suggestions "color palette for fall male photoshoot." Almost all ads! This result wasn't actually surprising because Pinterest is well-known to be utilized mainly by women. In fact, as of January 2023, more than 76% of Pinterest users were women. It's also THE PLACE its users go to shop with 85% of those who use the platform weekly making purchases based on Pinterest posts. The article I've liked to here is a treasure trove of demographic information on Pinterest, so please check it out.
Trust me, I'm NOT partial to DALL-E-3 as it still doesn't seem to compare to the output from Midjourney, but it IS now integrated with ChatGPT-4. This makes it very easy to go back and forth between text and image generation, all for the same subscription cost.
DALL-E-3 still cannot handle text no matter how hard you try to teach it. You can even tell it to not include any text and it will often not listen. It is still awfully biased when it comes to skin color, too, if you don't specify it. Finally, the results also go off the rails very quickly if you ask it to regenerate the images from the same prompt. Thus, I'm leaving the images as downloaded with all the goofy text attempts 1) in the interest of time and 2) to remind you that this technology is still in its infancy.
Oh well. I'll make do with what it is capable of at the moment. FYI, Claude was a lot less capable with the same prompts and cannot generate images as of this writing.
What Colors Were Used? Pantone's Fashion Week New York Autumn/Winter 2023/2024 Colors!
Let's use Artificial Intelligence to discover the perfect fall color combination for a guy's photoshoot. ChatGPT-4 and Dall-E-3 allow you to experiment with warm, rich colors that evoke the autumn season. Create a color palette capturing the essence of fall, from dusky brown shades to deep greens. Incorporate desaturated greens and dark slate tones for a sophisticated, masculine look. Find inspiration for fall color schemes beyond the traditional pumpkin spice palette.
The first prompt I tried was:
"Please generate 7 different color palettes for a man's fall photo session on location using the colors from Pantone's Colors of the Year 2023"
(HOT TIP: Saying "please" has been demonstrated to produce better results!)
ChatGPT-4:
"Pantone's Colors of the Year are selected annually and typically become a trendsetting concept for branding, design, fashion, and more. As of my last update in April 2023, I don't have the latest Pantone Color of the Year for 2023. However, you can easily use the chosen color as a starting point to create a variety of palettes that complement or contrast with it, depending on the specific color selected by Pantone for the year.
If you provide the specific Pantone Color of the Year for 2023 or describe it, I can suggest color palettes that would harmonize with it for a man's fall photo session. These palettes would generally include complementary colors, analogous schemes, or monochromatic variations. If the color of the year is a particular shade of green, for example, palettes might include earth tones, contrasting warm colors, or varied green shades for a monochromatic look.
Once you provide the Pantone Color of the Year for 2023, I can proceed to suggest these palettes."
What Prompts Were Used For Fall Colors Combinations?
To bring out the best in your subjects during men's photoshoots, use fall-inspired prompts. Be very specific in your prompting. For this particular photo session, I have a male subject accompanied by a young Golden Retriever, so I included it in the prompt.

Prompting the Fall Color Combinations for Posting to Pinterest
After some experimentation, I came up with the following prompt to generate images that would look good on Pinterest. For this particular photo session, I have a male subject accompanied by a young Golden Retriever, so I included it in the prompt. It also doesn't always listen to what it's being told with the latter words or directions having more weight. It seems to help if you put emphasis on terms you absolutely want it to follow by making them ALL CAPS.
"Create two hyper-realistic VERTICAL color palettes with a 16:9 aspect ratio that feature a color palette suitable for a man's and golden retriever's on-location photo shoot. The theme is “INPUT” You must use
- "THE LIST OF COLORS PREVIOUSLY GENERATED FOR EACH THEME"
The palette should include exactly seven color blocks, distinctly showcasing the main colors, plus two additional complementary colors that fit the theme. Each color block should be a solid, uniform color without any shades, gradients, or tonal variations." You MUST only show 7 color blocks, not circular palettes, no shades or tonal differences."

Tips on Styling with the Selected Autumn Color Themes
Consider the season and fall color schemes to find inspiration for your styling. Use the chosen fall color palette as a guide when selecting clothing, accessories, and props for your photoshoot. To add depth to the palette, incorporate rich colors like burgundy or plum. Look for visual assets such as plaid or Victorian patterns that complement the colors you've chosen. If you need inspiration, try using graphic design tools or free accessible color palette generators. These resources can help you create cohesive and visually appealing looks that enhance your fall palette.
Using the generated color palettes as a guide, you can create a cohesive and visually appealing look for a man's photoshoot. Here are some tips to style the fall photoshoot:
Outfit Coordination:
Choose clothing for the man that incorporates the colors from the fall palette. For example, for the "Light and Airy" theme, lighter shades like the pale grey, soft peach, or white would work well for his shirt or trousers.
Please avoid patterns that are too busy, as they can distract from the natural beauty of the setting and the dog. Solid colors or subtle patterns will complement the theme better. Long sleeves are generally your best bet, especially for those who don't like how their arms look in portraits.
Accessories:
Use accessories like scarves, hats, or watches that either match or provide a pleasant contrast to the chosen outfit colors. For instance, a watch with a leather band in the soft muted orange shade could add a nice touch.
For the dog, consider a collar, leash, or bandana that either matches the man's outfit or incorporates one of the palette colors.
Location and Background:
Choose a location that naturally contains elements of your fall color palette. For example, a sandy area for the tan and peach tones or a grassy field for the light greens.
Time the photoshoot during a part of the day when the light is softer, such as during golden hour, to enhance the "Light and Airy" theme and to give a warm glow that matches your palette.
Props:
Include props that fit the fall color scheme, such as a picnic blanket, cushions, or a vintage camera. Any props you use should blend in with the environment and not overpower the subjects.
Now, I'm not a huge fan of props because I don't like to distract from my subjects, but here's a list of props ChatGPT-4 thought might work with each of the color palettes I've shared.
Palette 1: Warm and Vibrant
-
- A sunflower yellow bandana for the dog.
- Tangerine and ruby red balloons for a pop of color.
- Bright blue ceramic bowls for a picnic scene.
- An emerald green throw blanket to contrast with the natural scenery.
- A vibrant pink frisbee or ball for playful shots.
- A pair of colorful sneakers for the man that match the palette.
Palette 2: Cool and Sophisticated
-

These props are chosen to harmonize with the respective color palettes while also being practical and enhancing the visual storytelling of the photoshoot."
Contrast and Complement:
Play with contrast by having the man wear darker shades while the dog has lighter colors, or vice versa. This will help both subjects stand out.
If the dog is a golden retriever, its fur will naturally complement earthy tones like soft peach and muted orange.
You can also use the Color Tools at Adobe.com to create your own fall colors that go together. Simply choose a color from one of the palettes using the color picker in Photoshop, like hex color #b50222 from the Warm and Vibrant Palette. Then use the Color Wheel Tool to choose the kind of palette you want to create, Analogous, Monochromatic, Complimentary, Split Complimentary, etc. and plug in that hex color into the first color block on the left.
Or, you can use the Extract Theme Tool on the second tab of the Color Tools to upload a palette or image you love the look of. The tool will then select colors for a Colorful theme, or you can request a Bright, Muted, Deep, or Dark theme be extracted from the image. If you choose None, you can move the color circles around to select the colors you like best to compare in the theme.
Consistency:
Keep the color theme consistent throughout the shoot, from the attire to the props and the setting. This creates a harmonious visual narrative.
Natural Elements:
Incorporate natural elements that reflect the color palette, like wood, stone, or plants.
If the shoot is in autumn, you can utilize the fallen leaves and the natural backdrop to bring in the color scheme.
Editing:
In post-production, gently adjust the photos to enhance the chosen color palette. Be careful not to oversaturate the colors.
Remember, the key to styling a photoshoot is to keep it natural and not forced. The colors should complement the subjects and the setting, creating a seamless look that feels both planned and spontaneous.
Creating a Cohesive Look with the Fall Color Palettes
To create a cohesive look with the fall color palettes, it's important to ensure that the colors work well together and are coordinated across different elements such as clothing, props, and backgrounds. Using similar shades or tones can help achieve a consistent and unified look. Adding pops of color can add visual interest and break up the palette. Experimenting with different combinations is key to finding the ideal counterbalance. By following these tips, you can create a visually stunning and cohesive look for your men's photoshoots.
Ways to Incorporate the Fall Colors into Outfits
When it comes to incorporating the fall colors into your outfits, there are several ways you can do so creatively. First and foremost, take inspiration from the fall color scheme itself. Experiment with different color combinations that reflect one of autumn themes and consider opting for color schemes that complement each other to create visually appealing outfits. Whether you prefer a more subtle palette with lighter tones or want to make a bold statement with rich colors, the choice is yours. Remember, the key is to have fun and express yourself through your outfit choices.
Enhancing the Photoshoot Experience with the Right Colors
Enhancing the photoshoot experience with the right colors is essential to create a warm and inviting atmosphere that reflects the beauty of the fall season. By choosing colors that evoke a sense of coziness and autumnal vibes, you can take your photos to the next level. Consider the warmth level and saturation of the colors to achieve the desired effect. Experiment with different fall color schemes to find the perfect palette that complements the theme or story of the shoot, creating a cohesive visual narrative. With the right colors, your photoshoot will exude the dusky tones and earthy hues of fall.
Utilizing the Natural Backdrop for Fall Photo Sessions
Utilize the vibrant fall foliage or local landscape as a natural backdrop for your photoshoots. Blend seamlessly with the surroundings by incorporating autumn colors like rust, ruby, and beige. Create a harmonious visual palette by incorporating the colors of nature, such as plum, sage, and pumpkin. Experiment with color combinations that mimic the richness and warmth of the fall season. To capture the essence of fall, integrate earthy tones like cinnamon and burgundy into your photos. Enhance the beauty of your subjects by utilizing the natural backdrop provided by Mother Nature herself.
The Impact of Lighting on the Chosen Autumn Color Scheme
Considering the impact of lighting on the chosen color palettes is crucial in photography. Lighting plays a significant role in how colors appear in your photos. Experimenting with different lighting setups can enhance the richness and vibrancy of the colors. For a cozy, autumnal feel, warm and soft lighting works best. It creates a welcoming atmosphere and complements fall colors. On the other hand, introducing dramatic lighting brings contrast and visual interest to your photos. It can amplify the impact of the chosen color palettes and add depth to your images. Being mindful of how lighting interacts with the colors is essential to achieving the desired effect.
