Color Palette

Neutral tones and metallic accents create the color palette of this non-traditional Christmas scheme. Polished metals like warm copper, shimmering gold, and bright silver are set in contrast to matte neutrals like cement grey, earthy brown, and winter white. Hints of natural green soften the look and add a fresh element to the palette.
