6) Silver - lovely with icy Blues and Lilacs.

White - the religious symbol which stands for light, purity, joy and glory, white robes of Christmas angels. Santa's beard and suit trimmings, Christmas snow flakes. Use White with Silver and Blue - very seasonal. Ivory - a gorgeous colour with Matt Gold or Sage Green or Pewter. Red - the colour that is considered to cause the greatest excitement. It is the colour of December and evokes visions such as roaring fires, red holly berries and of Santa Claus. Mix Red with Green or White. As a religious symbol, it stands for fire, blood and charity. Gold - stands for sunlight and radiance, the colour of the Christmas stars, tinsel, candles, electric lights. Christians who were once pagans saw the new God as they had the sun, a radiant being who lit up the world. Green - the colour of your Christmas fir tree, is the symbol for nature, youth and the hope of new life. It is for this reason that Christmas is a feast of hope - lighting up dark mid winter, with a newborn child as its central symbol. In winter we tend to gravitate toward warmer tones to light up the long nights - Reds, warm Yellows and Golden or Orangey colours.
