Color Scheme — Color Your Winter Event Classy

Kick those pastels to the curb. This season’s hottest colors are bold and audacious. Always eye-catching, never timid.  Pair them with contrasts or complements. It’s your call.

Marsala with Light Blue

Marsala, Pantone’s Color of the Year, can be a bit somber. But combining the tone with light blue lends the perfect balance and airiness to your event.

Cobalt with Black

Use white to add a bit of contrast to this palette. Pair with aubergine for a rich, luscious look.

Acid Black with Orange

A sure cure for the dreariness of winter. Your guests can’t help but be cheered by these neon tones. Ground it all with black accessories. Make it pop with apple green.
