Hanukkah is known for blue and white, often with silver or gold for the candlelight. These 12 palettes build on those classics and add warmer and more modern options for tables, holiday cards, menorah displays and gift wrap.

Build around the menorah
The menorah is the centerpiece, so choose colors that flatter it. Silver menorahs look great with blue and white; brass or gold ones pair well with navy and cream.
Add warmth with candles and wood
Blue and white can feel cold in winter. Add candlelight, wood boards for latkes and warm gold accents to make the table feel cozy.
Keep cards and wrap consistent
Use the same palette for holiday cards, gift wrap and gift tags. Blue paper with gold or silver ribbon is simple, elegant and easy to find.
