Holiday Colour Schemes for Your Walls

Christmas colours aren’t just about red, green, white, and gold. In sub-tropical regions like India, this season is one of the coldest, and that means colour palettes that uplift the otherwise pale tones of the season are what one should aim for. So, say goodbye to pastels and hello to wall colours with a zing.
