Why do orange, black, purple, green, and other hues dominate Halloween decor and traditions? In this episode of The Halloween Podcast, host Lyle Perez-Tinics takes you on a colorful journey through the history, superstitions, and folklore behind Halloween’s iconic palette. From the protective glow of orange bonfires during Samhain to the ghostly shimmer of silver moonlight, each color tells a haunting story. Discover how black became the shade of shadows and the unknown, why purple evokes magic and mystery, and the eerie connections between green and the grotesque. Plus, we explore an unconventional addition to the Halloween palette: silver, the color of protection and ethereal elegance.
Join us for a deep dive into the spooky symbolism of Halloween’s colors and their connections to ancient rituals, supernatural lore, and eerie modern traditions. Whether you're decorating for the season or just love Halloween’s vibrant atmosphere, this episode will give you a whole new appreciation for the shades of spooky.
