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.
Bubblegum Pink Christmas Color Palette
In case you are looking for something unusual for the upcoming Christmas, we recommend you pay attention to the pink color scheme for your home decorations. Yes, pink is a rare color to be chosen for Christmas, however, when used in different shades, both glossy and matte, this nice and sweet color will create a relaxed and joyful atmosphere in your home. Such a cute Christmas color palette!

This color combo will look great if you use a light blue shade and the same light, lime-green color in addition to bright red. And even though it seems that cool blue will not pair well with warm red, we assure you that this color scheme will refresh your Christmas interior greatly!
Rustic Christmas Color Palette
Fair red, green, blueish-gray and beige will suit any interior, but they will look especially great if used in the space with stone walls or a lot of metal elements.
Although this color palette may seem a bit cold as for the Christmas color scheme, quite many of us may find it nice.
Red, Gray, And Green
This color scheme is a bit similar to the previous one. The only distinction is that instead of cool blue, you need to use cool gray in this one. With the addition of darker shades of red, you will create a stylish and unusual color palette.
Bright Christmas Color Palette
Instead of sticking to a traditional two-color red and green option, why not go further and use a multicolor palette instead? Red, yellow, green, and blue might not seem an ideal color combo, however, they will give that fun and bright expression to your home that colorful garlands have!
Gray, Red, Green, And Sandy Yellow
Yep, that is definitely not a common color scheme for Christmas, but this is what makes it so unique! Warm red and yellow paired with cool and fair gray in addition to the same cool green will create a refreshing and stylish color mixture that will suit almost any interior.
Christmas Tree Color Palette
If you are more into cooler tones in your Christmas interiors, try to use the following color combination of cool green and deep green with the addition of sandy yellow and blue.
This color scheme will be perfect in the interiors that use the cool-toned color palettes, and also, it is an ideal choice if you enjoy more reserved colors even for the holidays.
Red, Greens, And Yellow Color Palette
This one is somewhat similar to a traditional bicolor Christmas palette. The only distinction is that this one uses both lighter and darker shades of green, as well as yellow color.
You can use golden shade instead of matter yellow if you enjoy those glossy things around, but in both cases, this color scheme will look perfectly ideal for any home.
White Christmas Color Palette
This color palette is perfect for Christmas if you like it as light as it’s only possible! Use white as a basic color, and add brownish, green, and beige strokes here and there around the house to make the interiors look more vivid.
Vintage Christmas Color Palette
Combination of beiges, white, chocolate brown and light gray creates a very elegant, fair, and airy color combination that is not too pale thanks to the deep warmth of brown.
This combo reminds of old-fashioned photographs, so if you are planning to have a retro-style Christmas party, consider using this color scheme.
Yellow Color Palette For Christmas
Single yellow color will, of course, be too much. But if you add a couple of shades of blue (preferably deep blue and light blue), you will get a well-balanced and harmonious color palette.
And since this combination of colors also pairs well with whites, silver, and gold, you can play with those shades to create your own color combination that will suit your interior.
Black And Gold Christmas Color Palette
This color combination can be called a modern Christmas color palette since it has become popular during the recent years only. The combination of elegant black and posh gold creates an absolutely awesome and glamorous combo that any interior will win from.
In addition, the Christmas color palette with gold can be used in pairs with not only black, but also with white, green, red, and even pink colors! So feel free to play with colors and shades in order to find the perfect match for your interior and mood.

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.

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!
