If you plan on mixing colors in your photo Christmas cards, it’s definitely good to remember that most colors will “go” together. Pastels, for example, can be mixed with ease — pink, peach, butter, baby blue, lilac, and mint. Deep jewel tones of navy, hunter, and deep red will also combine well. In addition, most colors can be combined with either white or ivory, or with a metallic tone (brass, gold, silver, pewter, rusted iron, etc.) for a harmonious look.

Here are just a few of the endless color combinations that might be used in your photo Christmas cards

• red and green

• red and white

• all white

• any color and gold

• any color and white

• any color and silver

• white, blue, and silver

• ivory and brushed gold

• sage green, ivory, and pewter

• bright purple, blue, and green

• icy blue, lilac, and silver

• autumn tones of beige, brown, golden yellows, and rust

• forest green, burgundy, gold

• primary toy color such as red, yellow, blue

If you’re not sure what colors look best, go to a store where they sell wrapping paper or Christmas decorations. This will give you a few ideas too.
