Color choices
Angel robes can begin with pale blue or cream, followed by gold for the halo and sash. Shade the wings with soft gray and light lavender, using deeper tones along the feather edges. Choose earthy browns for the shepherds’ robes and staffs, with white or beige for the sheep. Finish the grass and hills in greens, then contrast the moon and stars against a dark blue sky.
Starry Sky Pattern
Color the stars with an alternating palette, then repeat those shades in the angel’s halo and sash. Use a contrasting shade for the crescent moon.
