Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about using coloured lights on your Christmas tree.
Are Coloured Christmas Tree Lights Tacky?
When done well, coloured Christmas lights are a delight during the Christmas season. Choose tree lights that allow you to dim their brightness or even switch or combine them with plain or classic warm white lights to help you customise your colourful display.
What Is the Most Popular Christmas Light Colour?
Classic golden hues remain the most popular colour for their comforting glow, but traditional Christmas hues red and green are also the favoured choice for a livelier display. Blue and icy white lights are also a trendy combination, especially when paired with silver baubles.
Can You Mix Coloured and White Christmas Lights?
Yes, you can. Like your choice of Christmas baubles, the lights on your tree are largely a matter of personal preference. Explore all the different lighting options available to see which one suits your Christmas décor and personal style the best. Consider matching the colours of your tree lights to your home’s aesthetic or to complement your chosen Christmas tree theme.
