Fashion has a nasty habit of imposing itself on anything and everything including the colours of Christmas. It might express itself in the latest Nike trainer, a new collection of clothing or a new range of cars. This is all about colour of course. These trends can be all pervasive and extend almost anywhere including to beachwear! Clearly Aa traditional Christmas is associated with the colours red, green, gold and silver. Some consider those to be passé.
Design led Colours of Christmas
Colour is such an emotive subject and every event these days, it seems, has to have a special colour theme. So it is with Christmas. Designers take their cues from what is going on in the world around them. A graphic designer might for example gain inspiration from the PantoneⓇ colour of the year, in 2019 this was Living Coral (16-1546 ). A set designer might plump for traditional red and green. Some opt for a minimal palette when it comes to decorations or just choose just one colour, a silver perhaps. Depending on what’s on trend, some may want to decorate their tree or installation differently and transform the aesthetics of their home, office or installation.
The colours of Christmas are traditionally, red, green and gold
