Leave it to The Duchess of Cambridge [1] to give us the ultimate Autumn hair colour [2] inspiration. Kate stepped out for a visit to London's Natural History Museum with a new hair colour that was lighter than the previous medium-brown shade [3] she wore over the last few months. Her pumpkin spice highlights [4] brightened up her hair's brown base and suited her complexion so well, it almost looks like it could be her natural hair colour.

While many people choose to go darker in the colder months, Middleton's unexpected lighter colour makes a statement in a subtle way. It's making us rethink our next salon appointment. Ahead, check out Kate's new pumpkin spice hair colour.
