Balloon Colour Trends
The right palette pulls a whole party together. Here are the balloon colours and combinations working best right now, plus a simple rule for building a scheme that always looks considered.
Palettes that work
- Black and gold for milestone birthdays and NYE.
- Sage, cream and rose gold for weddings and baby showers.
- Bright primaries for kids parties.
- Pastels for christenings and spring events.
The 60-30-10 rule
Use one dominant colour for about 60% of the balloons, a supporting colour for 30%, and an accent (often metallic) for the last 10%. It is the quickest way to make a mix look designed rather than random.
Frequently asked questions
How many colours should I use?
Two or three is the sweet spot. More than that and a display starts to look busy rather than styled.
Shop by shade in latex balloons, or browse colour themes across the whole party.
