CLASSIC HALLOWEEN COLOR COMBOS THAT NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE
Looking for foolproof Halloween color combinations for your next craft project? One of these classic color combos will instantly transform a card or scrapbook page into something festive.
BLACK + ORANGE CLASSIC HALLOWEEN COLOR COMBO
No two colors evoke the essence of Halloween quite like orange and black. This classic Halloween color combination draws upon the natural color of late October and combines it with a measure of darkness to create an otherworldly atmosphere. Stampin’ Up! has a variety of oranges that you can use to create your own orange and black color palette, such as Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Timid Tiger, and Peach Pie. You can incorporate this color palette into your next craft by adding elements like pumpkins, spiders, and black cats to your next card or scrapbook page.
BLACK + PURPLE CLASSIC HALLOWEEN COLOR COMBO
More recently, purple has crept its way into the classic Halloween color scheme. It evokes an air of mystery and magic, and when combined with black, can help create a dark and spooky feel. One way you could achieve this is by using our Spooky Halloween Dies to cut bats out of black paper and place them over a purple background to show a dark, shadowy sky.
ORANGE, YELLOW, AND WHITE CLASSIC HALLOWEEN COLOR COMBO
Another classic Halloween color combination is yellow, orange, and white. From corn to pumpkins to hay, this bright, festive color palette represents the fall harvest. Our Tractor & Co Photopolymer Stamp Set lends itself well to this Halloween color palette, or you can try incorporating these colors into table decor and festive banners.
