Colors for the holidays

The holidays are a great occasion to make use of your creativity by decorating your home or place of business for the occasion, whether it be for Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa or just an occasion to spend quality time with friends and family. There's so many color palettes and styles to choose from. Here are some examples.

I'm still experimenting with the decoration for our place but I'm leaning towards a green and tan color palette with silver accents and a lot of sparkles.

If you're looking for some inspiration for your holiday decorations, I'll be putting together more mood boards based on each of the primary and secondary colors of the color wheel (orange, yellow, green, cyan, purple and red).
