Dress up in the red and gold of House Lannister or the white and gray of the Starks for a Game of Thrones-themed color party! You should make the food, decorations, and venue medieval-themed to match, with banners, shields, mead mugs, and hunks of meat on platters. Don’t forget some crowns and a big throne for guests to take selfies on! 

2. Dress your decade

What year were you born in? Choose that decade as the theme for the outfit you’ll be wearing to a dress-your-decade party! Guests could come wearing anything from white platform shoes to tie-dye blazers. Everyone has to then figure out what decade they’re recreating! If you need some help in choosing the right outfit, check out our party outfit ideas for 70s, 80s, 90s, and Y2K themes! 

Did you know that Peerspace has more than party ideas? We also have party venues near you for special occasions like color parties! You can rent spaces by the hour like this game room and lounge in Brooklyn, NY, with a shuffleboard table, dart board, and other amenities!

3. Host a chic black-and-white party

The minimalist and iconic combination of black and white opens up endless possibilities for a color party idea for adults. People can wear tuxedos, dresses, tops, boots, vests, hair ties, and other outfits that match the color theme. See how creative people get with velvet, zebra stripes, black denim, and other fabrics! And then there is the decor! Choose a monochromatic white loft and go to town with black balloons, tablecloths, and other additions.

4. Get retro with a neon-themed party

Bring back neon with a neon-themed color party! Neon was a color of choice for the 1980s so go bargain hunting at your local vintage stores for neon leg warmers, t-shirts, workout outfits, and socks! If the neon party has a blacklight bring some glow sticks, put on some neon face paint, and pick up some glowing neon sunglasses!

5. A make-and-wear tie-dye party

Tie-dye parties are a fun way to celebrate more unique expressions of color since no two designs are the same! You can have people either bring their own tie-dyed clothes or make it a chance for guests to make their own! All you need are a few bowls of colored water and white or lightly colored shirts. Once the clothes are dipped and dried your guests will be suitably dressed for the occasion!

6. Throw a Mexican fiesta

Mexican fiestas are bright and colorful occasions; everything from the tablecloth to the flags are multi-hued! And then there is the food; who doesn’t love tacos, chips, mole, and beer? Whether it’s Cinco de Mayo or you just need an excuse to celebrate, make it a Mexican fiesta color party! For even more fun, have a custom pinata made, filled with candy and ready to burst.

7. Get seasonal with a spring color party

Fresh white flowers and green grass are the symbols of spring in much of the world! Invite the new year with a spring party! The exact spring-themed elements will depend on where you live but fresh-cut flowers are a must-have. Green and white are the traditional colors of spring, though you can weave in some pink as well.

8. Welcome the sun with a summer color party

Summer sunshine, clear blue skies, and outdoor parties all go together. So why not make your color party a summer festival? Many people choose to host a summer party during the solstice, the longest day of the year! Vibrant colors like blue and white for the beach plus bright, tropical colors are best here!

9. Watch the leaves drop at an autumn color party

Fall color parties also have distinctive colors that are easy to work with. When the leaves change colors, the gold, yellow, and red make beautiful autumn decorations. Earthy tan and brown colors represent the grass fading, tree bark, and the soil revealing itself. You might even include a touch of white as the snow starts to accumulate.

10. Welcome the snow with a winter color party

Once winter has arrived, it’s time for gray and white to become the theme of the color party! Bursts of red from fire pits and fireplaces should also be included, and maybe the sky blue of ice or a clear and cold winter day.

A winter party venue can be indoors where a fireplace keeps the party hall nice and warm…Or you can choose a venue with a rooftop or outdoor patio where fire pits blaze and guests can enjoy cups of cocoa outside! Peerspace has hundreds of venues like these near you where you can host the winter party of your dreams! This skyview treehouse in Belgrade, ME, has a fire pit, deck, kitchen, and other amenities for a cozy winter party

11. Make colorful art at a paint-and-sip event

What if you let your guests bring the colors to life during the party? Much like our tie-dye color party idea, a paint-and-sip event involves creative expression! You’ll need a painting canvas for each guest, plus art supplies and wine! Paint-and-sip parties can include a subject like a model or a vase of flowers. Or you can have people paint their own selfie or a portrait of their favorite pet!

12. Wear colorful wigs

A wig party is a unique color party idea for adults since you don’t have to stick with natural hair colors! Rent a colorful clown wig, a massive black Afro, a 17th-century white French wig, or a neon pink mohawk for a fun wig party! For extra fun, have everyone dress the part of whichever wig they go with!

13. Luau color party

Luaus are traditional Hawaiian parties that are held for birthdays, weddings, and other occasions. Since a luau is so open-ended, you can host a luau party for almost any reason! That means dressing up in colorful outfits like beach clothes, surfer shorts, and grass skirts, and wearing a flower-filled lei! 

14. Costume party

The color party idea for adults that’s guaranteed to bring the most unique outfits to the room has to be a costume party. From comic book superheroes to TV show characters, a costume party is a room filled with bright colors. You can narrow the theme down to a single kind of costume, such as Looney Tunes or 90s fashion, or let people wear whatever they like!

15. Red color party

Let’s talk about distinctive colors as a party theme! A red color party means bright crimson decorations like banners and roses. You can include red foods like strawberries and salmon. Plus everyone will be dressing the part with t-shirts, lipstick, sunglasses, and dresses that you can’t look away from!

16. Blue color party

From bright blue outfits to blue food ideas, this color party has a lot of possibilities. From the blue table spreads to blue lights, it’s easy to create a space that’s soaked in this soothing color. Or you can even rent a space that’s pre-decorated to match the theme! Did you know that Peerspace has venues like this event space and fitness studio in Los Angeles, CA, with blue lights already installed?

17. Green color party

Green color parties can welcome spring, be central to a St. Patrick’s Day celebration, or simply be a unique birthday party idea to try! From green party food ideas to green clothes, this color party idea for adults is one of the most unique!

18. White color party

Make the purity of bright white the theme of your color party! White outfit ideas, accessories, and decorations will result in a party you’re sure to remember. Also collect white party food ideas, like vanilla ice cream, mashed potatoes, and white corn!

19. Solid color party

For this color party idea, let your guests choose whichever color is their favorite! They simply have to stick to the theme they’ve chosen. If someone’s color is red then they arrive with red clothes and a red meal to contribute to a potluck-style dinner. The same goes for blue, white, or yellow!
