The Big Christmas Light Color Question
One of the first decisions when planning your Christmas light installation in Midlothian or Prosper is: What color should you choose? We asked our Vista Lawn and Pest team members what they would pick for their own homes and why. Here's what they said!
Wesley: The Classic Candy Cane Look
Choice: Warm White and Red
"I always choose warm white and red, like the candy cane. When I do my house with the windows in the garage, it always looks like a gingerbread house."
This classic combination creates a nostalgic, traditional feel that's perfect for families wanting that timeless Christmas aesthetic. The red accents pop beautifully against the warm white base.
Mallory: Keep It Classic
Choice: Warm White
"Classic warm white just 'cause that makes me think of Christmas all the time, so yeah, that for sure."
Warm white is the most popular choice for good reason—it's elegant, timeless, and works with any home style. It's that soft, inviting glow that says "Christmas" without ever going out of style.
Aileen: Inspired by the Movies
Choice: Warm White
"I would do warm white because of Martha May off of the Grinch."
Movie and TV Christmas displays often use warm white for that magical glow. Martha May's spectacular display in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" showcases just how stunning warm white can be!
Kadie: Winter Wonderland Vibes
Choice: Blue
"I would choose blue. It gives like winter wonderland, Frosty the Snowman, Jack Frost kind of vibes."
Blue creates an icy, modern aesthetic that's less common and really stands out. It's perfect for those wanting something different while still capturing that winter magic.
Lauren: Fun and Festive
Choice: Multicolor
"I would choose multicolor 'cause it's fun and festive."
Multicolor lights are bright, cheerful, and perfect for families with young children. They bring that retro, nostalgic vibe that makes Christmas feel extra playful and joyful.
Luke: The Cool White Rebel
Choice: Cool White (but compromised with Warm White)
"I do have Christmas lights at my house already, and I have warm white because that's what my wife wants, but I would put, if I had a choice, cool white. Because cool whites, they're more of a blue color. They look kind of like icicles a little bit to me. And I just like the way they look, but they're not very popular. Nobody really likes 'em. Maybe that's why I like 'em too, 'cause nobody else does it."
Cool white offers a crisp, modern look with that icicle effect. It's the choice for those who want to stand out and embrace a contemporary aesthetic—even if you have to convince the family!
Popular Christmas Light Color Options
Warm White - Most requested color. Traditional, elegant glow with a soft, inviting appearance. Works with any home style.
Multicolor - Second most popular. Classic festive look with red, green, blue, yellow, and orange for that fun, traditional Christmas feel.
Warm White + Color Accent - Growing in popularity. Warm white base with red, green, or blue accents offers the best of both worlds.
Cool White - Modern, less common choice. Bright, crisp, blue-tinted appearance for contemporary homes.
All Blue - Unique winter wonderland look. Modern, distinctive, and great for the entire winter season.
Choosing the Right Color for Your Home
Consider your home style: Traditional homes shine with warm white or multicolor. Modern homes look stunning with cool white or all blue.
Check your neighborhood: Do you want to match the prevailing style or stand out with something unique? Don't forget to verify any HOA restrictions.
Think long-term: If keeping your display for multiple years, choose timeless colors. Want to change annually? Consider versatility.
Follow your heart: The best color is the one that makes YOU excited for the holidays!
Mixing Colors Successfully
Warm white + red creates that candy cane classic. Warm white + blue offers sophisticated contrast. Multicolor on trees with warm white on the house provides beautiful balance.
What to avoid: Don't mix warm white and cool white together—the different color temperatures clash visually.
