Pastels for kids, understated for adults

For kids' activities, use yellow, pink and mint. For a family meal or a religious event, purple, white and gold work better.

Dye eggs with natural colors

You can dye eggs with onion skins (brown and orange), beets (pink) or turmeric (yellow). The shades come out soft and go well together.

Use green as a background

A light, grassy green makes egg colors stand out in photos and posters.
