Orange and Black.
Orange because of Autumn, and the colors of the leaves and pumpkins.
Black because Halloween was once a festival of the dead. Death is normally associated with darkness, and dark = black
EDIT:
Halloween is normally celebrated after sunset. It is dark, and black

Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced 'sau-en). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1st. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31st, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction during the long, dark winter.
