Christmas colours for 2008?

[The 8th Gem]

Decided to use pale blue silver white and pearl this year.....
What colours will you use for Chrismas 2008?
Traditional or modern or just something you love and have always used?

I'm a sucker for deep reds such as mulberry along with gold usually but I was thinking to have a change this year and go white/silver. Just don't know if I can change the habits of a life time.:o

I'm not sure myself what colours I'm going for.

We have moved house and my colour scheme at the moment is hocolate brow/terricota/green - but looking for new sofa and chairs and not sure what colour yet!

I love to stick to just a couple of colours but Wyatt loves a mixture of different ones.....I love plain lights and he likes coloured ones......lol!

So many beautiful colours to choose from its hard to decide!

:mf:

I'm afraid I'm a traditional red and gold person too! I did buy a load of beautiful plum and aubergine shaded things a few years back, to go with the gold - but the colours don't 'glow' like red does, so now it is red, gold and plum :D

This Christmas, I shall mostly be using the following colours...

Beech, sycamore, lime and possibly obeche.

I used to be a red white and green fan, but have moved old stuff onto a big white tree for the kids to decorate. Now i love anything opulent!
Burgundy and gold i think this year and lots of crystal for extra sparkle.

Loving your latest design - they would look lovely in a mobile/window curtain type dressing thing (like the fairy light ones they do in ikea etc)

If you're talking household decorations then I'm definitely a traditional girl. My living room is green so I go for greens and golds with the odd splash of red.

If you're talking crafty stuff then it still has to be traditional :D

From past experience I've found that most people looking for jewellery to go with their christmas outfit want black and sparkles, deep or bright reds, dark blues, dark greens and purples.

My living room is duck egg blue so we go all sparkly with mini mirror balls on a silver tree with pale blue and pastel pink and lots of lights !!!

Sewing wise this year i will be using whites & reds and blue & silver oh and maybe a bit of pink :mf:

I'm a very traditional girl so it is always a combination of gold, whites, deep greens and a splash of deep red with cinnamon bundles, holly berries and natural stuff thrown in for fragrance!. Well, I do live in the countryside!!!!!!.:D

[Snow angel]

White silver and lilac for me but im doing my sitting room up this year and im having a black and white sitting room so the colours for the tree i have may change

[woodtattoos]

I usually use a combination of deep reds, dark green, gold, silver or white when putting together my Christmas stalls though... anything to enhance the warm colours of the wood.

No you don't Si ... I've seen your christmas decorations, and I'm here to tell everybody that they're PINK!

[Paulak]

Im a multi-coloured girl - looove bright colours and the clashier (non-word!) the better. Christmas is a time for going a bit mad and I just love it :)

[Carol29]

I've been making Swarovski Black and Clear crystal, but the trend this year also seems to be large pearls so I've been making some necklaces using these.

I'll also introduce some reds.

Can't wait for all the Christmas fairs!!:D

[Alysha]

I think I am going to use up all that I have this year for my christmas crafting I have a great big stock but keep building it up and up and up and I am drowning under a sea of stock I need to get through before it goes out of fashion!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I love to fill my house and tree (the biggest tree I cna find) with things of all colours and materials and textures. I lvoe my multi-coloured tinsel!

[Bartex]

Are colours really so important? When it is a year of the Red Rooster, does everybody have to wear red or orange? What if I am fond of blue?..
