Choosing your color scheme will be one of your most important quinceanera planning decisions. Your quinceanera colors will depend on the color of your dress, and your quinceanera theme. Your color scheme will also be based on what YOU like–what color combinations you are drawn to. Maybe you’ve always loved purple–or the combination of black and white. Sometimes, you may decide to just have a color scheme– and not really do a quince theme at all.
Quinceanera Colors: The Basics
Quinceanera color schemes are usually 2-3 colors. Some themes require you to be even more colorful, and you could easily use 4 or more colors–the Mexican Hacienda theme is an example of this.
For a simple, soft look, pair your main color with white. For a very dramatic look, match your color up with black. Silver or gold will complement many colors well. For example, yellow and white would pair up nicely with gold; grey and salmon would look lovely with touches of silver.
There really are no rules–there is nothing wrong with designing with your own combination. Maybe you really like neutral colors–like tan, cream and browns. These may not be typical quinceanera colors but if that’s what you like, it would make a really elegant color scheme.
Single Color Quinceanera
Sometimes, you may choose to use just one color for your party. All White parties are popular–where you even ask your guests to wear white to contribute to your theme. The Red Roses theme would call for an abundance of red. It’s definitely ok to just have one color. The only issue, depending on the color, will be having to find all the decorations, dresses, and party supplies in the same shade of color.
Color Schemes with 2 Colors
Quinceanera color schemes with two colors can help you keep it simple! Black and white is an example of this. When you are only looking for decorations, dresses, etc. in black and white, your options are narrowed down. It’s easier to focus and target your two colors. Some popular choices for two colors: pink/black, red/black, purple/pink, gold/white, pink/silver, red/gold, navy or baby blue/white, and lime green/turquoise.
Color Schemes with 3 Colors
I personally like themes with 3 colors. It opens up your options for decorating and you can mix and match your colors. Sometimes that third color really pulls your look together.
These are just some examples of color combinations for events. There are endless possibilities–it’s really up to your personal taste! What is your favorite combination of quinceanera colors? What is your theme and what color scheme are you going with?

HELP !!!!
So I have a theme and main colors picked for my quince which isn’t for a while do I have time to change anything but I can’t decide on an accent color to go with because my theme is winter and the main colors are navy and white but I don’t know whether to go with silver or gold for the accent color, I like how silver obviously makes the mind think: WINTER but gold doesn’t necessarily make the mind think of winter right away but I love how it looks paired with navy/midnight blue
HELP???
I agree with all of your thoughts on the colors. Gold is warm and does not evoke cold, icy feelings. I also much prefer gold with navy, as opposed to silver with navy. Silver looks nicer with ice blue. What if you did navy, gold and CLEAR? You could have gold accents and pops here and there. The clear would help provide an icy feeling. Some items that you could look for in clear are chairs, centerpieces, lights, balloons…The gold and navy could provide a “lodge” feeling for your Winter theme. This could work out very well! Sarah
My dress is in the color champagne and I don’t know what color my damas should wear or what my theme should be. Is a theme even necessary? Also I have 7 damas who are willing to be a part of my celebration. I wanted to have the same amount of boys too but my guy friends are all busy except for my main chambelan. What colors would he wear? Do you think it will look okay with just girls or do you think I need to find some guys, if so what colors would they wear?? My quince will be in the beginning of November.
Hi! To me, in my personal opinion, you make your quinceanera what YOU want it to be. If that means having less chambelanes than damas, then so be it. Yes, tradition would call for both. But sometimes, it’s almost impossible to find the perfect amount of everybody. It’s great that you have your main chambelan.
A theme is not necessary. I think dark red would be super pretty with champagne, especially for November. Your damas could wear dark red and your chambelan could wear a black suit with dark red or champagne accessories (tie, etc..)
I hope this helps! Sarah
Hi can you also help me my quinceañera dress is also going to be champagne and I don’t what the theme should be my quinceañera is going to be in July
Maybe it you could go with blush or baby blue for an accent color. No you do not need a theme if you do not want one but I think it would be a good idea to find chambelans, maybe cousins or brothers or family friends? If you want an accent color I suggest going with something either that will pop like maroon or gold or something really soft like before mentioned baby blue or blush or even ivory, but no very bright colors like turquoise or hot pink, that wouldn’t be a very good match, unless that’s what you want.
I don’t know what color my damas should be since my dress is mint blue with lots of sparkles do you think you can help?
Hmm, sometimes the sparkles look like different colors–maybe pink, blue, purple. If your sparkles are a different color then you could make your dama dresses that color. I think pink and mint, or white and mint are really pretty! Sarah
Hi Sarah I am heather, my quince is coming real soon I already know what the color of the dress is gonna be Its gonna be light purple but I can’t think of the right color for the shoes like I don’t know what color would match with light purple
Hi Heather, I think that a purple dress would look nice with silver or white shoes, or if you could find a shoe with some sparkle on it, that would be really pretty, too! Sarah
I need some help please. My daughter’s colors are Royal Blue (her dress)silver and fushia. I want to wear a silver/grey dress, but what color would be good for the godmother and her court?
Thank you!
Hi, I think it might be really nice to also have the Godmother in silver/grey and the court in fuschia. Or Godmother could wear fuschia, as well as the oourt 🙂 Sarah
idk what color to do can u help me?
Hi, do you have a dress picked out yet? What color is it? This will help with your color scheme 🙂 Sarah
Hi, Sarah:
My daughter is not clear yet, about what theme she would like. Some days she will say around the world, then she will say masquerade and now she is saying under the sea, or beach like. So far the color of her dress is royal blue. What themes could you suggest?
Hi! I would suggest making several lists. Say she is between 5 themes. Write out a basic plan for each theme, with details like how you would decorate, color schemes, cake ideas, quince court attire and so on. Bdoing this, your daughter will probably find that she is way more excited about one theme over the others. I hope this helps! Sarah
My daughter ended up choosing a pale pink or blush dress. Now I am stuck trying to think of what color damas dresses to do. Since my daughters dress is so light…
I think one idea that pulls off really nice is when you have a bunch of nude/blush/off white tones. So if your daughters dress is blush, the damas could wear ivory tones or light tan. Or you could go a totally different direction and pick a color that looks amazing with blush. I’ve seen schemes with navy blue and pale pink that are GORGEOUS!! I hope this helps! Sarah
Look for inspiration on Google or you could go with ivory or white or even champagne any light or soft color would look great but what ever your daughter wants should be the color because this is after all, HER party and it’s a big day for her let her choose but suggesting some colors to her couldn’t hurt right?
would light purple and turqouise contrast each other,would it look nice
Light purple and turquoise would be super pretty, I’ve seen this combo before 🙂 Sarah
What if you have thought about just one color and that color is a soft, sunset orange? Would it be hard to be find this color? Could you please help me solve this?
You can definitely do just one color. Are you looking for an orange dress? Sarah
