How it works

These elegant wedding colors are pairs and threes: a dark color on white or beside gold, a soft pink beside gray, or no color at all. Each scheme is a swatch with the hex code of every band.

What elegant means here

Elegant is our own sorting, not a rule. In color theory black, white, the grays and the beiges are the achromatic colors. Each scheme here holds at most one color beside those, the off-whites and the metal colors, such as gold, silver and copper.

How this list was compiled: Every scheme is our own grouping of two or three colors, sorted by the color it is built on. Elegant is our word for the sorting and is tested on the names: a scheme holds at most one color that is not black, white, a gray, an off-white (ivory, cream, champagne) or a metal color (gold, old gold, silver, platinum, copper). Nothing here is a rule of etiquette, and no color is said to mean anything. Each color name and its hex code are taken as printed in Wikipedia's List of colors (A–F, G–M and N–Z: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors:_A%E2%80%93F, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors:_G%E2%80%93M, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors:_N%E2%80%93Z), read 14 October 2026. Every name and code in this list was compared with those three pages, and no color named after a paint maker, a crayon maker, a school or a product is used. Names shortened in a scheme's name: Gold is the list's Gold (metallic) and Gray is the list's Gray (web). The bands of each swatch and the hex codes run in the order the name gives them. That black, white, the grays and the beiges are called achromatic colors is from Wikipedia's Color scheme article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_scheme), read 14 October 2026. Silver is the list's #C0C0C0, a light gray, and platinum its #E5E4E2. Darker, lighter, cool and warm compare the codes. Licence: own work
