Ways to use these colours
Cards and invitations
Use one dark colour for text, one festive colour for the illustration and the lightest for paper. Gold works best as a small accent.
Table and decoration
Pick three colours: the cloth or runner in the lightest, napkins in the middle tone and candles or ribbon in the accent.
