Give These 15 Surprising Color Combos a Chance This Thanksgiving
Give These 15 Surprising Color Combos a Chance This Thanksgiving
Autumn decorating often revolves around the classic colors of fall: Reds, oranges, and yellows. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but what if those colors don't coordinate well with the place settings for your Thanksgiving feast? Or what if you just want to shake things up this year and go with a different tablescape or floral centerpiece? You don't have to use traditional Thanksgiving colors to create a beautiful table setting. Consider these genius combinations instead—whatever you choose, anyone who enters your home is sure to be impressed.
1) Mixed Jewel Tones
Nothing screams elegance like a jewel-toned palette. Pull classic fall decor in reds and purples, and pair them with deep blues, greens, and pinks. Want to make it even chicer? Incorporate gold accents.
2) Pink and Gray
Pink doesn't necessarily spring to mind when you think of Thanksgiving. But when paired with gray and white, then accented with gold, it's seriously elegant.

3) Shades of Pink
For a bolder take, incorporate various shades of pink with subtle, fall-themed accents. This tablescape by stylist Eddie Ross features loads of pink in the extravagant floral arrangement, drinkware, tablecloth, and candles. The white, turkey-shaped candle holder adds a festive touch.
4) Copper and Gray
Copper works for just about any season, and you can never go wrong with gray. Plus with this palette, you can easily incorporate warm woods and silver accents.

5) Blue and Orange
Set the scene for a moody and elegant Thanksgiving by going with a blue and orange color combo. Our style director Robert Rufino draped this table with a vintage paisley-print fabric with shades of blue and orange in it.
6) Pale Green and Plaid
This color combination leans a little casual, a little fancy. The plaid napkins pick up the pale green and neutral colors of the gourds for an understated but lovely display. You can use any plaid, picking up one or more of the colors in your other tableware pieces.

7) Orange and White
Pair the typical Thanksgiving color (in a more vibrant shade) with white for a clean and colorful table. Then, accent with fresh greens. They'll pop even more against the bright palette.

8) Gold and White
Simple but effective, this combination of all white dishes with gold flatware and gold chargers makes a beautiful, low-key setting.

9) White and Purple
All white is clean and classic, but it also can be boring. Add in pops of deep purple, and your table instantly becomes bright, not bland.

10) Burgundy and Hunter Green
The deep burgundy hues of autumn pears, eggplants, grapes and beets play beautifully off the dark green artichokes and other greenery. Brass candlesticks set off the look, while neutral plates bring it all together.
