5 Festive Color Palettes to Use in Your Designs This Christmas

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Kickstart this holiday season with the most stunning color palettes yet!

As we found ourselves inching towards Christmas, you may find yourself on the lookout for some fresh palettes to use this festive season. Be it for a fun design on your holiday greetings' card, or even for social media branding, Pixlr is here to help.

What exactly are Christmas colors?

For hundreds of years now, Christmas has been universally associated with the colors red and green. It is believed that green symbolizes the festivities perfectly as it represents life and eternal nature.

As for red, it goes without saying that the shade is widely known to symbolize love, courage and passion. It is also the color of Santa Claus' outfit, which is the very icon of this holiday. However, if you are leaning towards a more contemporary take this Christmas, why not try incorporating other colors into your holiday color scheme?

For one, mixing red with other warm shades would always do wonders. Combining pastel colors with other pastel shades also would not disappoint you as they tend to mix well. You can even go as far as selecting earth colors (such as brown, beige and faded green) to celebrate the festivities too!

1. Joyful Christmas Wish

As you can see, the palette above includes cool blue tones paired with a dash of soft shades of faded pink. This unique combination, though may seem different from the traditional Christmas palette, would definitely give your designs a fresh, contemporary look this festive season.

This palette exudes elegance, and it can't really go wrong if your audience are seeking for something new and out-of-the-box this Christmas.

2. Harmonious Christmas Eve

This second palette is undeniably harmonious. As the color scheme is composed of different shades of green, rest assured that not only would it spruce up your designs with Christmas vibes, it would also convey harmony and tranquility.

It has been widely agreed that monochromatic palettes such as this tend to be perceived as calming. After all, isn't Christmas really about celebrating harmony and joy with your loved ones? Hence. this palette above would be perfect to represent it.

3. Snowy Holiday

This next color scheme would be perfect if you are aiming for a minimalistic, crisp style this Christmas. Instead of the usual bright red and green, you can consider utilizing grey tones paired with white or silver. These colors would ultimately convey the perfect winter wonderland that is often associated with Christmas.

Though these colors are not usually used to depict the holiday season, fret not! This festive combination would definitely leave a striking impression to your audience.

4. Lavish Festivity

For a more glamorous look during this festive season, we'd recommend using deeper, darker shades of red and green coupled with light green tones to complement the color scheme. This combination would depict a richer, more lavish look for your Christmas designs, while simultaneously letting your audience reminisce as it contains the major colors of the holiday.

5. Amber-filled Holiday

Of course, another great take on Christmas is to look for the holiday's traditional dishes for inspiration. For instance, gingerbread man, peppermint chocolates, or even candy canes all can be used as a muse for your search for the perfect Christmas palette.

In this last color scheme we offer you a cardamom-inspired palette, which would guarantee to make your social media feed this season all the more merrier and warmer. These deeply familiar colors would not only instantly remind your audience of Christmas, but also fill them with unbridled joy as it connects them to the festivities' essence.

There you have it - all the stunning festive palette inspiration you need this Christmas!

Food Photos

In other words - how to make people drool at your food photos through a screen of whatever device they're glued to. Let's get straight to the point. Smartphone cameras are nifty, high-tech things of the future. Since these handheld pocket devices are able to capture DSLR-worthy megapixels now, Instagram has never been a bigger, booming visual platform.

Let's say you're running a business on Instagram and need to quickly make your images hit eyeballs hard and keep brains interested. Or else what? Or risk getting scrolled past!

So I've mentioned before, hard pass on black and white filters on food because it completely destroys the yum factor.

What you want are warm tones. How do you achieve that? The easiest way is through filters. Adjust the brightness and levels of your image before adding a filter. If it looks appealing to you and makes your stomach rumble... roll with it.

Essentially, here's what you have to do:

Visualize the layout of your food and then create it

Make use of lighting with windows or through a softbox

Experiment with different angles (top down, side, 45 degrees)

Adjust, adjust, adjust (contrast, brightness, vibrance, toning levels)

If a filter makes your photo look better, use it!

Under the Adjust tool in Pixlr X, these sliders are your friends. Adjust accordingly to suit the level of adjustment that you feel suits your photo. Give it a go!

Play with the sliders to adjust the tone of your photos.

These are the main Pixlr X adjustments I'd use when editing my food photos.

Vibrance

This brings out the colors of an image.

If your image was previously dull, playing with the vibrance adjustments will help make the colors look much more, well, vibrant. Vice versa, if the colors of your image are overly vibrant, you'll want to tone it down with the slider. Or key in a specific amount on the number above the slider until it feels easy on the eye. You choose.

Temperature and Tint

Give your photos a tint of the color of your choice.

For example, maybe your layout is on point, but that plate of spaghetti is looking kinda weak. Lacking appeal, losing stomachs and eyeballs simultaneously. Give your pasta a gentle orange-yellow tint to keep it from looking washed out. The temperature slider does a similar job, too. The adjustment amount depends on your photo, of course, but a general rule of thumb involves more warm tones to give your food shots a kick.

Exposure

How much light should your photo have if the photo could have more light?

It's really all about the white balance. You can make a photo have less exposure, which means less amount of light in your food shot. Alternatively, you can adjust for more light, too. Suffice to say, the Exposure slider can help you increase or decrease the tonal values of your photograph. True to life colors are what you should aim for with food photography.

Highlights and Shadows

Basically lighting correction.

These slider adjustments are pretty underrated tools for correcting the light in your images. You'll be able to discover hidden elements or details in a photo by playing around with these adjustment settings for both highlights and shadows. The details vary for each photo, so experiment to see what works best for your imagery.

It's really easy. Basically, all you're going to be doing is adjusting the hue and saturation of the image and a little tweaking to get the desired infrared effect. When you inject various different colors into your photography, you can achieve a pretty dream-like appearance.

Here's how to achieve the infrared effect:

You'll need a creative program. Check out Pixlr Editor, it's free to use and you don't need to sign up for an account to try it out. All you need is an Internet connection and your browser of choice.
In the Pixlr editor menu, choose "Open Image From Computer". Grab the image of your preference.

We went with thisstunning landscape shot of the Fagarasan Winding Road in the Fagaras Mountains of Romania. Once the image is loaded in Pixlr's Editor, right click on the background layer in the layers interface and select "Duplicate Layer" from the drop-down menu.

Hit "W" or select the Wand tool and choose the area of sky above the greenery. Right-click and select "Invert selection" on the copy of your background layer.
Now the area with the grass and winding road will be selected. Right-click anywhere on that and select "Add layer mask" from the menu that appears.
Now that you have your layer mask, choose the "Adjustment" category from Pixlr's toolbar on the top of the editor in your browser. Select "Hue & Saturation" from the drop-down menu.
Here's the fun part! Start adjusting the level of hue, saturation, and lightness to your liking. Make sure to leave the Colorize box unchecked.

Hue: -140 | Saturation: 15 | Lightness: -3

And voila! You've just given your photo a surreal-looking infrared effect! Instead of the usual rolling green valley, what you have right now is a dream-like purple landscape. Looks like it's straight up from another dimension 😉 Once you're done playing around with the adjustments, right click on the layer copy with the layer mask, and select "Apply layer mask".
Don't forget to save your image.

Check out these shots of infrared landscape photography on the 123RF library to get a better idea of what you can play around with.
