Country Christmas Color Palette
Is it possible to like Christmas colors more than any other colors in the world? I mean, technically they’re the same year-round, but for some reason they always seem prettier during the holidays. So, to celebrate the season I’m going color crazy until Christmas. Here’s the first round!
It all begins with a big batch of my fluffy royal icing. If you need the recipe, you can find it here.
To create the colors below, begin with approximately half a cup of royal icing. For more intense color, double the gel color. For lighter shades, use more icing or less color. The following palette was created using the combinations below.
- Holly Jolly Red- 7 drops super red + 10 drops tulip red {color will develop over time}
- Mistletoe Green- 2 drops leaf green + 3 drops ivory + 5 drops electric green + 8 drops gold
- Prairie Grass Green- scant drop leaf green + 2 drops gold + 2 drops electric green + 3 drops ivory {OR for a very close match use 1-2 tablespoons Mistletoe Green}
- Burlap- 1 scant drop regal purple + 5 drops ivory +10 drops gold
Be sure to add these to the notes section of your printable color chart.
Have a great Tuesday!
