Diwali Colours and What Each Represents

Gold

Gold is the most traditional Diwali colour representing prosperity and wealth. It is the most universally appropriate and photographically striking Diwali choice.

Maroon and Deep Red

Maroon and deep red photograph exceptionally well under the warm glow of Diwali diyas and fairy lights. One of the most popular Diwali colours across all age groups.

Orange and Saffron

Orange and saffron connect to the flame and diya theme of Diwali. Festive warmth in colour form, especially popular for morning puja and family visits.

White Alone

White is associated with mourning at most Hindu festivals. If wearing white, pair it with rich gold embroidery, a coloured border or embellishment. Never plain white for Diwali.
