Orange
When you think of Halloween you think of pumpkins, and as a result you think of the color orange. Halloween decorations are always in the orange color, including fake pumpkin, real pumpkins and it also represents the burning of candles. If you want to add some Halloween decor to your house this season, orange is definitely a color to go for.

Purple
Though perhaps not the color you first think of when you think of Halloween and the spooky season, purple is actually a very common color for this holiday. Often associated with witches and all things mystical, it represents the magical side of Halloween. It is a dark color, giving tones of spook and mystery, so if you are looking to get into the spooky season this fall, purple is a great color to go for.

Red
Halloween falls in the midst of the Fall season, where leaves are falling and the air is crisp. Red and oranges adorn the ground in the shape of leaves, and the change from green to these colors can be seen on every tree around. Red is a warm color, representing the falling leaves, as well as giving connotations of vampires and other spooky mystical Halloween creatures.

Yellow is not a color typically associated with Halloween, but it is one that can easily be incorporated into your decorations.
