Color choices
Sugar skull details can begin with warm orange, pink, and turquoise accents around the eyes, nose, and forehead. Color the surrounding flowers in golden yellow and coral, then use fresh green for the leaves. Deep purple candles and pale flames can contrast with the floral ring. Finish the hearts, panels, and scalloped border with repeating teal and red accents.
Repeat the Ring Palette
Choose a repeating palette for the flower ring, candle band, and scalloped border. Alternate warm and cool hues to emphasize the circular pattern.
