Because certain shades carry stronger messages than we might expect, it’s worth knowing which ones could create discomfort at a time when the goal is to offer gentleness and respect above all else.
Bright red: too expressive for a moment of reflection
We love it for energizing an outfit—but not on this day. Red, with its visual intensity and its joyful or passionate symbolism depending on tradition, can draw attention to you without meaning to. Picture a gathering dressed in muted tones, with a bright red jacket in the middle: the contrast is immediate. To avoid any unintended message, it’s best to save this color for other occasions, unless the family has specifically requested it to honor a particular wish.
Fluorescent or very bright colors: too cheerful for a tribute
Vivid yellow, fuchsia pink, lime green… These energetic shades are perfect for brightening a sunny day, but far less suitable for a ceremony filled with emotion. They can give off a festive impression where softness and restraint are more appropriate. If you want to move away from black while staying respectful, opt for deeper tones instead: navy blue, charcoal gray, understated brown, or very soft beiges.
Shiny metallic tones: a “party” effect to avoid
Glitter, sequins, iridescent fabrics… as beautiful as they may be, they often evoke celebration and nightlife. In the context of a tribute, they can be distracting and appear overly dressed up. Even a sparkling accessory can feel out of place. It’s better to choose matte fabrics, minimalist jewelry, and subtle details to remain in harmony with the atmosphere of the moment.
