- For a modern look, swap red-and-green for icy blues, white, and a single metallic accent.
Frequently asked questions
What are the traditional Christmas colors?
The classic Christmas palette is deep red and evergreen green, often accented with gold, white, and cream. These come from holly, evergreens, and festive decoration.
How do I make Christmas colors look modern?
Move away from equal red-and-green. Try evergreen with gold and cream, or icy winter blues with white and a single metallic accent for an elegant, contemporary feel.
