Color choices
Skeletons can begin with warm ivory accents, then color the decorated suit and layered dress in crimson, teal, and gold. Continue with the broad-brimmed hat and flower headpiece, repeating shades from the clothing. Use bright papel picado and lantern colors overhead. Finish the fountain, buildings, plants, and stone plaza in softer blues and sandy neutrals for contrast.
Papel Picado Palette
Choose a repeating palette for the hanging papel picado, then echo those shades in the clothing borders and flower headpiece.
