Nontraditional Christmas Palettes

By evad // December 25, 2009

In color tradition, green & red is a forbidden color combination, yet it is front and center every year around Christmas. Of course, this is perfectly acceptable as we believe you can do no wrong with color. But seeing the same two shades paired together year after year can get a bit drab. So, maybe these palettes from the COLOURlovers groups Christmas Palettes & Ouch! will inspire you to create your own christmas palette in years to come.

I love this article! I made a few palettes based on pictures of my Christmas tree, and it was not red and green at all, but pink, blue, peach and gold =)
