One of the last flowers of the summer, marigolds take us out of the warm season with a bang. Their brightly colored, many petalled flowers in rich shades of red, orange, and gold, bring to mind fall foliage and the glow of the evening sun. To translate this feeling to the hair, deep copper and bright gold hues are layered with a vivid gloss of red for a sparkling, faceted result.
