Rainbow Connection: Hanukkah
September 13, 2011
Hanukkah, Chanukkah, Hanukah, Chanukah… no matter how you spell it, in the Jewish calendar, the Festival of Lights is a very important 8-day holiday. Symbols of Hanukkah include the dreidel, the menorah (a nine-armed hannukiyah), and a dove symbolizing peace, and the primary colors of Hanukkah are blue, white, and gold. Here’s a beautiful Hanukkah palette for you to use while you’re designing (and don’t forget about Photo Cards!). Pair these colors with white, and you’re ready to celebrate. Enjoy!
Warm Apricot – FFB552
Dresden Blue – 2B8FCD
Directoire Blue – 1B6EA4
Majolica Blue – 12415F

This is great, Corrie; thanks very much. I wanted to sound a note of caution concerning the use of the menorah, as I’ve noticed the seven-armed version (meant for the rest of the year) in Hanukkah designs where there should be the nine-armed menorah or ‘Hanukkiyah’ connected with this holiday.
Great color combination Corrie. Thank You.
Joan, thank you for your note of caution between the nine arm and seven arm menorahs. I wasn’t aware of the differences. I’ve used the nine arm and hope I used them properly.
These Hanukkah Bookmarks flow with your color pallette so well! http://www.rosemarycompany.com/Hanukkah-Bookmarks.html
