7 Best New Year's Colors for Good Luck in 2021

Because we're not taking any chances this year!

After the long, long year we’ve endured, we’re ready for 2021! If you’re looking to kick off the new year with an extra dose of good luck, adding some (or all!) of these colors to your celebration might help. We're not promising anything, but it’s totally worth a shot to incorporate these colors in your celebration.

Interestingly, there’s a lot of conjecture about the psychology of color but little agreement on how colors affect and influence people. That’s because research shows that personal preference and experiences can determine what colors we like and how we feel about or react to them. Scientists say most color theory is based primarily on hunches and anecdotal evidence, although certain cultures do traditionally consider specific hues symbolic (say, white for brides or black for mourning in some Western cultures).

Whether not you believe in the power of colors, including these shades in your celebration can’t hurt, right? Here are the colors you should include for good luck whether you’re lounging on the sofa watching New Year's movies with your dog, playing some fun New Year's Eve games, or enjoying New Year's cocktails on a Zoom call with far-away family and friends.

Red: Overall Good Luck
Blue: Serenity
White: A Clean Start
Purple: Prosperity
Silver: Opportunities
