In both the above emails, you can observe that most predominantly used colors are orange and red for text & CTA buttons with black or violet as backgrounds.

Thanksgiving Holiday Emails

Come November and the season is preparing to change from Fall to Winter. Thanksgiving, celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November, is a harvest festival and is closely associated with dried up leaves, pumpkins and the grand feast prepared to express gratitude for the harvest. Emails sent during this period usually feature elements in orange, yellow and brown colors.

Black Friday Holiday Emails

Though not necessary, most brands make use of the color black for their Black Friday emails. Paired with contrasting colors such as gold and yellow, but more significance is given to black.

Christmas Holiday Emails

Christmas! Christmas! Time is here,
Time for fun, time for cheer!
