OP And with just a little bit of searching, I find a list of bottle colours from a glass bottle company.
From http://www.rexam.com/sectors/index.asp?pageid=83
"Rexam has a wide range of furnace colours, 15 in all: flint, half white, sky, sapphire, royal blue, georgia green, light green, emerald, champagne green, dark green, antique/olive, feuille morte, light amber, amber, red amber."
A few of those would qualify as fall colours, I think.
In my experience with glass companies, I've found that the descriptive words apply pretty flexibly to the actual colours. Or maybe that should be the other way around. I've had one eminent British wine critic look askance at my "dead leaf green" bottles of Pinot Gris. "Why do you use yellow bottles?" he asked pointedly. Fortunately, he was rather more open-minded and appreciative of what was in the bottle. ;-)
