Deep orange, midnight black, electric violet, acid green — the colours of the uncanny, the playful frightening, and the thinning of boundaries between worlds.
Halloween's palette is one of the most recognisable in the Western calendar: the vivid orange of the carved pumpkin against absolute darkness, purple as the colour of mystery and the space between states, acid green as the colour of potion and poison and old apothecary bottles. These are colours that create deliberate tension — warm against cool, vivid against dark, playful against threatening. The orange is the warmest thing in the room; the black absorbs everything around it. Halloween requires exactly this contrast: safety and unease, familiar and strange, the comfort of candy and the edge of something older.
