Christmas tree color reference
Decorating an evergreen tree at Christmas became a German custom and spread widely in the 1800s. Firs, spruces and pines are the trees most often used. Evergreens stay green through winter, which made them a symbol of life in the cold season.

Use deep green for the branches, with red, gold and silver for the ornaments and warm white or yellow for the lights.
