A pop of green serves as a reminder of the life that came before, while a cool white hints of the season to come.

In this Thanksgiving color palette, a warm pecan brown is accompanied by a pop of deep purple and complemented by warm neutrals.

HOW TO USE THESE THANKSGIVING COLORS IN YOUR DIY PROJECTS

Color is an influential communication tool. Research shows that color speaks to us in ways that we don’t always consciously recognize. So, how do you select the right color palette for your Thanksgiving crafts?

If you want to really dive deep, you can research the psychology behind each color, or you can simply trust your gut. If you are working on a project that evokes the feel of autumn, you may want to choose a color palette with traditional fall colors, like our Rustic & Earthy Thanksgiving color palette featured above. On the other hand, if you want something that feels a little more modern, you can pull from our Whimsical & Modern Thanksgiving color palette. 

Whatever color palette you choose, the possibilities are endless! Here are some craft project ideas you can try using our Thanksgiving color palettes:

  • Greeting card
  • Scrapbook page
  • Invitation
  • Name cards
  • Table decorations
  • Utensil sleeves
  • Gift boxes
