FOXY HUES HOLIDAY PALETTES • 01 OF 10

Some Christmas classics deserve a repeat.

There’s a reason we keep coming back to red stockings, green wreaths, and creamy white lettering. Put them together and suddenly you can practically smell the Christmas cookies. Whether you actually baked any is between you and the grocery store.

We’re kicking off our Foxy Hues Holiday Palette Series with Classic Christmas: five colors that bring that cozy, stockings-by-the-fire feeling to your next painted project.

Classic Christmas mantel inspiration with Foxy Hues swatches: Cussing Crimson, Great Escape Green, Gypsy Gold, Modified Tubesock, and Midnight Bandit Mask.

Meet your Christmas crew

No mystery color names to match. These are the five Foxy Hues paints behind this palette:

Cussing Crimson
A rich red for statement lettering, Santa hats, berries, and bows. Festive color. Slightly questionable language. Very on brand.

Great Escape Green
The deep green that makes wreaths, trees, and holly leaves feel right at home beside that red.

Gypsy Gold
A golden yellow pop for stars, bells, and ornament details. Think warm color here, rather than a metallic finish.

Modified Tubesock
A soft, creamy neutral that gives the brighter colors some breathing room. Excellent for backers, lettering, and stocking cuffs.

Midnight Bandit Mask
A crisp black for tiny details, borders, and contrast. A little goes a long way toward making the whole design feel finished.

Let’s put it on a project

Picture a layered Merry Christmas door hanger: a Modified Tubesock backer, bold Cussing Crimson words, and Great Escape Green holly. Add a few Gypsy Gold stars and small Midnight Bandit Mask details. There’s your palette, with a job for every color.

Our keep-it-simple tip: Pick one main color, one lettering color, and let the others handle the little details. All five colors do not need equal custody of the sign.

Same paints. More Christmas possibilities.

  • Personalized ornaments: Cream bases, red names, green leaves, and a tiny yellow star.
  • Tabletop trees: Alternate green and cream trees, then repeat red accents to tie the set together.
  • A Santa stander: Red hat, cream trim, black boots, and a golden yellow buckle.
  • A holiday porch leaner: A green backer, cream lettering, and red accents for a welcoming Christmas entrance.

Painting a small ornament? Use just three colors. Making a whole coordinated collection? Repeat the same five paints and switch which color takes the lead.

What would you paint with Classic Christmas? A door hanger, a batch of ornaments, or something we haven’t thought of yet?
