Cream, Brown, Red And Green Christmas Color Combo
If you find a traditional red and green color scheme way too intense, try to add some creamy and brown tones into it. That delicate creaminess and brownish hue will make the overall color combination more gentle and pleasant to the eye.
By the way, warmer colors, such as creamy and brown, will make the color scheme look cozier, adding warmth to the brightness of red and depth of green.

Blue And Gold Christmas Color Palette
These two colors – blue and gold – may seem to be incompatible since gold is basically a type of yellow (which is a warm color) whilst blue belongs to cool colors. However, if you combine blue with gold, you will receive a harmonious color combo!
Christmas blue and gold color palette will look awesome in cool-colored interiors, but even if your home has warm paint color on its walls, don’t be afraid to decorate it with golden and blue items! Yellow warmth of gold will complement the warmer tones on the walls easily.

Does anyone know whether Christmas color schemes of 2020 will be still trendy in 2023?
I’m not sure, to be honest. All those color trends change so quickly! But I personally never stick to trends when it comes to decorating my christmas tree. It’s my tree and my home, I can decorate it whatever I feel like!
Hello! Could you guys please recommend a few popular christmas tree color schemes? I’m tired of red-golden-green christmas balls palette, but I can’t think of anything better!
Hello there! Well, I use christmas balls of all colors I can find at the Christmas market! Seriously, my Christmas tree looks like a patchwork item every year! Moreover, I use not only regular round balls, I also use glass figurines to decorate my Christmas tree. But if you’d like specific palettes, try white-purple-pink, white-blue, purple-white-silver, or golden-white. Also, turquoise-red, yellow-orange, and tan-cream color schemes will work great on a christmas tree.
What other Christmas colors, except for red, green and gold, are typically used for home decorations for this holiday?
Well, basically, you can use any colors you like! I rarely use red or green decorations for Christmas except for the door wreath. As for the indoor decorations, I try to use different colors each year. E.g., in 2022, I used a lot of white, pink, and golden. This year, I’m planning to shift for subtle purple, very light blue, and pink. And maybe, I’ll also add some silver accents too.
Hello! Do mind telling me what Christmas color trends will be in 2022/23? Thank you!
Hello! In 2022, color trends included natural colors like light beiges and neutrals, as well as different shades of green. Also pink and soft blue colors were popular along with golden and silver colors on decor elements. In 2023, lavender color will be trendy, especially lighter shades of it. Also, shades of blue and green will be popular, as well as metallic colors. For interior Christmas decor, neon colors and decor elements will also be very popular this year.

If I have all the rooms in my apartment painted with different colors, how do I choose what Christmas decoration color scheme to use?
Well, U guess you should pick a separate scheme for each room and use a few colors that will be repeated in each of the schemes. This way, you will create a homogeneous color palette (more or less). E.g. you may use three or four totally distinct color schemes, but each of them will have a golden color in them.
Are there any color schemes that are considered mandatory for Christmas? I mean, those that are supposed to be used by everyone?
No, there are no such color schemes as far as I know! There is a traditional red-and-green color palette that almost everyone uses these days, but you’re not obliged to use this one if you don’t want to!
