The Complete Guide To Christmas Tree Light Colours
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, and decorating our homes is one of the best things about the season. Everybody has their own unique style when it comes to Christmas tree decorations, so it isn’t always easy to know which colour of lights to string around your tree!
Luckily, there are lots of colourful Christmas tree lights to choose from. You could go for some sparkling bright white LEDs to achieve a winter wonderland aesthetic or create a mesmerising display with strings of multicolour LEDs.
Make the process of choosing the perfect ones for your tree a whole lot easier by reading our comprehensive guide to Christmas light colours!
What colour Christmas lights should you choose?
Regardless of what colour you prefer, Christmas Tree World has something that everyone will love. From rich reds to gorgeous golds and everything in between, you’re sure to find the perfect Christmas tree lights here!
To help you choose the right colour or colour combination for your home, we’ve put together a guide on the different colour options available and what each of them symbolises.
Red Christmas lights
When we think of traditional Christmas colours, red might not be the first one that comes to mind. Why not stick with red Christmas tree lights this year? Our ultra-bright red Christmas tree lights feature 360 LEDs on a 6-foot-long string.
Red is one of the most popular colours to use as part of your Christmas decorations, and we see it a lot during Yuletide. You could see the colour by itself or combined with green, white, silver and gold for a complete colour palette.
Red can be used to represent holly berries and apples that appear during the winter season. The vibrant colour is additionally seen on the poinsettia plant and the breasts of robins during this time.
Blue Christmas lights
For a more relaxed and snowy ambience, add our blue Christmas tree lights to your seasonal display. Our multifunction blue Christmas tree lights are available with 300 or 600 LEDs. You can enhance your frosty decorative look by mixing these lights with our white Christmas tree lights.
Blue is often associated with coldness and winter, and even though ice is transparent, we typically associate blue with it. When paired with white Christmas lights, you can create a stunning winter wonderland at home.
Blue lights are commonly used in Hanukkah celebrations as well. In the past, blue lights have been used to represent fallen soldiers, firefighters and police officers during the festive period.
White and warm white Christmas lights
If you prefer a more contemporary approach to lighting, our white Christmas tree lights might be perfect for you. You can keep things simple and bright with white LEDs on your tree or combine them with our multicolour Christmas lights selection for an even more dynamic display.
Our white Christmas tree lights are available as bright white Christmas lights and warm white Christmas lights in strings of 300, 480, 600 and 1,000 LEDs. We also offer white cluster Christmas lights and white LED icicle Christmas lights to decorate your home if you want something different.
If you’d rather we did the hard work for you, invest in a pre-lit tree! Our collection of stunning pre-lit Christmas trees come with twinkling lights pre-attached to make for the easiest decorating.
Many believe that white represents peace, calm and cleanliness, but this colour can also represent birth. The colour white is often favoured for its simplicity in design and suits contemporary homes and decorations.
When we think of Christmas, we think of snow! Nothing beats the glistening white of snow. White lighting is an excellent option if you want to create a winter wonderland scene with a snowy Christmas tree.
Amber and gold Christmas lights
Another way to use colour to bring a subtle glow to your display is by using amber Christmas tree lights. These multifunction lights have 360 LED lights on each string and can be used both indoors and outdoors.
Golden lights, such as yellows and ambers, can be used to represent wealth and royalty. When the three wise men visited baby Jesus, one of the gifts they brought him was gold. In general, yellows, ambers and golds are also symbolic of the sun, which gives life.
Multicolour Christmas lights
If you can’t pick just one colour to decorate your tree with, multicolour Christmas tree lights are the best fit! Sit back and watch a vibrant colour display every evening and brighten up your living room with different light settings. These lights come with LED strings of between 360 and 2000 lights, making them perfect for several different heights of Christmas trees.
We also stock pre-lit Christmas trees adorned with multicolour lights. Choose from a range of ultra-realistic pine and fir trees to find the perfect one for your festive display. What’s more, these pre-lit trees have colour-changing lights, so you can switch between snowy whites and bold colours.
Buying colourful LED lighting for your Christmas tree can brighten up your home and complete your festive decorations. Multicoloured lights are also excellent for adding a real sense of retro charm to your home at Christmas time, especially when paired with colourful baubles, wreaths, tinsel and even a colourful Christmas tree!
Why choose Christmas Tree World lights?
As well as offering a huge selection of Christmas tree lights in colours to suit all festive decorating styles, we work hard to provide products that do more than just look fantastic. Our Christmas lights offer benefits beyond aesthetics, such as:
- A variety of different settings - Many of our lights come with as many as 8 different settings and remote controls, giving you complete control over your lighting displays.
- Energy-efficient LEDs - All of our festive LED lights are energy-efficient and long-lasting, meaning you’ll be able to use your lights all through the winter season without worrying about energy bills. Learn more about the benefits of LED lights over traditional incandescent lights by reading our in-depth guide!
- We give back to a good cause - As part of our longstanding partnership with the Borneo Nature Foundation, for each order made, we will plant a tree in the Borneo rainforest to help develop endangered rainforests. Almost half of the rainforest in the region has been lost and will continue to decline unless something is done, so we’re taking a stand against deforestation one Christmas decoration at a time.
