15 Christmas Color Schemes You Never Saw Coming

Red and green have been repping Christmas since, like, forever, but we think there's a little bit more you can do when it comes to your holiday color palette. Get a little crazy this year and spread the holiday cheer to a few other color schemes. These metallics, neutrals, and bright, unexpected hues are just as festive, and way more fun.

Metallics

Shimmery silver, gold, and copper glam up a Christmas feast. Mix and match flatware, chargers, and even a few trinkets for extra glimmer.

Orange & Blue

Paired with frosty blue ornaments, these orange decorations are giving oranges-in-stockings-on-Christmas-morning vibes.

Yellow

Dreaming of summer when it's too cold to deal outside? Add all the sunny feels to your table with yellow accents and fresh citrus.

Blue & Gold

Here's the sophisticated Christmas color palette your life has been missing. It can go traditional, coastal, glam, or edgy and modern.

Blue & Purple

Dazzle everyone by decorating in rich jewel tones. Blue, purple, and gold trimmings fancy up the Christmas tree, with coordinating gift wrap to match.

Black & Yellow

Turn tradition on its head with a bold yellow and black palette. Personalized ornaments and tiny paper trees nod to the occasion, so your guests won't think you've lost your mind.

Gold

Oh, you fancy, huh? Accent an all gold tree with white gift wrap.

Pink & Green

Who invited you, red? Pink and green looks fresh, modern, and insanely fun.

Brown & Green

For a rustic, country Christmas vibe, decorate with browns, whites, and accent with fresh greenery. It adds a woodsy element to your festive decor.

Pink

Do you dare to use pink on Christmas? Your holiday table, your color scheme. Combined with gold and green, it can actually look totally festive.

All-White

Turn your Christmas table into a winter wonderland with all white everything. Teeny-tiny gingerbread huts add a little contrast, and are totally adorbs.

Pink, Gold, & White

Pink and gold ornaments don't have to read Barbie dreamhouse. Use the bold color sparingly and it'll look tasteful instead of tacky.

Teal

A bold blue hue gives a modern vibe to Christmas dinner. Replace fresh blooms with cotton balls, feathers, or another unexpected alternative.

Black

PSA—artificial Christmas trees come in black now. Decorate with gold and silver ornaments for an insanely chic holiday display.

Silver

Transition super easily from Christmas to New Year's Eve with an all-silver color palette. Illuminated with twinkle lights or candles, a disco balls shimmer is seriously magical.
