24: The Many Shades of Christmas: Red, Green & Metallics Explained

Christmas colours aren’t just red and green — and they definitely don’t look the same on everyone.

In this episode of Life in Colour, I’m breaking down the different variations of Christmas colours, from reds and greens to metallics, and explaining why some versions feel festive and flattering… while others just don’t feel right at all.

We chat about:

• The different types of reds (and why one person glows in crimson while another looks better in a softer or deeper shade)

• How greens can swing warm, cool, light or deep — and why that matters

• Why metallics aren’t one-size-fits-all (gold, silver, champagne, pewter and more)

• How to choose festive colours that work with your seasonal palette, not against it

If you’ve ever put on a “Christmas outfit” and felt like something was off — even though the colour should work — this episode will help you understand why.

It’s about keeping the festive feel, without forcing colours that don’t suit you.
