🎄 Christmas Color Palette 2006

Classic red, deep evergreen, warm gold, and the crisp white of snow — a palette with centuries of tradition behind every colour.

2005 2006 2007

The Christmas palette is one of the oldest and most consistent in Western culture, its symbolism layered over centuries. Red for warmth, generosity, and the bishop's robes of Saint Nicholas. Green for the evergreen plants — holly, ivy, mistletoe, pine — that defy winter and carry life through the darkest months. Gold for the light returning at the solstice, for frankincense and myrrh, for the star. White for snow, for purity, for the blank page of a new year approaching. These colours work together through contrast and complement: the warm reds and golds make the cool, deep greens feel even deeper, and together they create a visual energy that is both festive and grounded in something very old.
