Colored Christmas Trees: Every Color, Size, and Style
You already know the tree you want is not the standard green one. Maybe it's a soft pink for your daughter's room, a matte black statement piece for the entryway, or a rose gold tree that makes people stop and look twice. Either way, you have probably run into the same wall: the options feel thin, and half of what you find online looks like a cheap novelty prop, not something you'd actually put in your home.
That's the real fear with a colored tree. Not the color. The quality. You want distinctive, not tacky. You want it to read as a design choice, not a party-store impulse buy.
So here is a buyer's guide from the people who actually build these trees. It covers every color Puleo makes, from purple, pink, and black to blue, rose gold, white, and fiber optic. It also splits along the two reasons anyone buys color in the first place: the whimsical, family, kid-room reason, and the deliberate designer-statement reason. We'll judge every colored tree by the same things you'd check on any tree: size, fullness, and build.
Color Sets the Mood. The Build Decides the Tree.
Here's what most color guides skip. The color is a finish, not a shortcut. A pink or black tree can be full or slim, dense or sparse, pre-lit or unlit, just like a green one, so color alone tells you nothing about whether it will look good in your room.
That matters because your normal tree logic still applies. A colored tree can be full or slim. It can be pre-lit or unlit. It can be a dense showpiece or a sparse, minimal silhouette. Color doesn't change how you should shop. It just changes the mood.
So don't let the color do all the deciding. Pick the color for the feeling you want, then check the same specs you'd check on any tree, so you end up with something that looks designed rather than like a gag gift. For the full walkthrough, our guide on choosing an artificial Christmas tree covers size, fullness, and build in plain English.
The Two Reasons People Buy a Colored Tree
There are basically two buyers here, and they want opposite things.
One is decorating for delight. A kid's room, a nursery, a playful corner, a themed holiday. This buyer usually wants soft colors, a smaller tree, and materials that are safe around children and pets. Pink, white, and flocked live here.
The other is decorating for a statement, a deliberate, grown-up, anti-traditional look. A black tree in a modern room is a statement on its own. Purple, deep blue, and rose gold live here, along with black. This buyer wants the color to carry the whole room.
Figure out which one you are before you shop, because it changes the size, the color, and even where the tree goes. Let's take them one at a time.
Every Color Puleo Makes, at a Glance
Here is the full range in one place. The sections below go through each color in more detail.
| Color | Sizes | Shapes | Lights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purple | 3, 4, 4.5, 6.5, 7.5 ft | Tabletop, full, flocked | Clear incandescent |
| Pink | 4, 4.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5 ft | Pencil, full, tabletop, flocked | Clear incandescent |
| Black | 4, 6 ft | Pine, twig | Clear incandescent, or warm white LED on the twig tree |
| Blue | 3, 4, 4.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5 ft | Full, tabletop, potted, flocked pencil | Clear incandescent, or warm white LED on the potted Arctic Fir |
| Rose gold | 3, 4, 6.5, 7.5 ft | Full, pencil, tabletop | Clear incandescent |
| White | 4 to 9 ft | Pencil, full, slim, twig | Clear incandescent, warm white LED, or unlit |
| Red, white, and blue | 4 ft | Fiber optic | LED and fiber optic |
Family and Whimsy: Pink, White, and Flocked
If you're buying for a kid's room or a playful corner, go smaller, go soft, and check the materials. A 3.5 to 6 ft tree fits in a bedroom without crowding it, and a pre-lit one saves you from stringing lights in a tight space.
Soft pink is the classic here. Puleo's Pink Alpine comes in 4- and 6 ft pink and a 7 ft flocked pink, all on a slim pencil frame. The 7 ft flocked version carries 318 snow-dusted pink branches and 150 pre-attached clear lights. The pencil shape lets it tuck into a bedroom corner instead of eating up floor space. That's the move for a kid's room where a bed, a dresser, and a pile of toys already compete for space.
White and flocked trees offer the same whimsy without committing to a color. A flocked tree gives you that snow-dusted, wintry storybook look that photographs beautifully in a child's room. Puleo's 7 ft Pre-Lit Flocked White Alpine Pencil Tree has 318 white, snow-dusted branches and 150 clear lights, with a slim pencil footprint that fits a narrow room. If you want the color to be the whole point, go pink. If you want soft and neutral, go white or flocked.
White comes in more than one look. The 6 ft White Alpine Pencil Tree has 261 branch tips and 100 clear lights on a 21-inch footprint. The White Northern Fir comes full or slim at 4.5 and 6.5 ft, and slim at 7.5 ft. The White Carson Pine runs from 4 to 7 ft, unlit or with clear lights. For a playful tabletop piece, the 4 ft Snowman Tree has white branches and 100 clear lights. Browse them together in the white trees collection.
Two things to check before you buy for a child's space. First, materials. Puleo lists these trees as flame-retardant, hypoallergenic, and resistant to shedding needles. Those are useful to know, but they don't make a tree safe for a child to pull on; as with any tree, place it where little hands cannot reach the branches. Second, sizing. Measure the spot the same way you would for the main tree: ceiling height minus about a foot, and the floor width you can actually spare. Our size guide walks through it, and it applies just as much to a 4 ft pink tree as to an 8 ft green one.
Designer and Statement: Black, Purple, Blue, and Rose Gold
If you're decorating for a statement, the color is doing the work, so let it. A black tree in a modern room needs little else. The tree itself is the design.
Black is the boldest move and the most misunderstood. It reads dramatic and architectural, not gloomy, especially against light walls or with warm lights woven in. Puleo's 6 ft Pre-Lit Black Pine carries 495 branch tips and 150 clear lights on a 28-inch diameter, full enough to hold ornaments and narrow enough for an entryway or a corner. For a console table, or a pair flanking a doorway, the 4 ft Pre-Lit Black Pine has 177 tips and 70 clear lights on a 20-inch diameter.
Purple and blue are the jewel-tone statement plays, and this is where Puleo builds a genuinely full colored tree rather than a slim accent. The 6.5 ft Fashion Purple Tree carries 836 branch tips and 300 clear lights on a 42-inch profile, so it has real presence as a main tree, not just a side piece. The 6.5 ft Fashion Blue Tree matches it at 836 tips and 300 lights. Both are dense enough to hold ornaments and anchor a room like a green tree, just in a color that makes the whole space feel intentional.
Rose gold sits between the whimsical and the designer worlds. It's soft enough for a playful room and polished enough to read as deliberate. The 7.5 ft Pre-Lit Rose Gold Tree is the fullest colored tree in this guide, with 1,315 branch tips and 500 clear lights on a steel stand, sized for a main living-room tree. The 6.5 ft Rose Gold Tree has 836 tips and 300 clear lights on a 38-inch diameter. Browse the rest of the colorful tree collection to see the full color range in one place.
One honest note for the statement buyer. A bold-colored tree commits your room to a look. A black or deep-purple tree is a strong choice, and strong choices are less flexible than a green tree you can re-theme every year. That's the trade. If you love the color enough to keep it for a few seasons, it pays off. If you think you'll want a traditional green tree next December, buy the colored one as an accent, not your only tree.
A Closer Look at Every Color
People search for purple, pink, and black most. Blue, rose gold, white, and fiber optic round out the range. Here is each one, with the specs from each product page.
Purple
Purple is the jewel tone that works as a main tree. The 6.5 ft Pre-Lit Fashion Purple carries 836 branch tips and 300 clear incandescent lights on a 42-inch diameter. For smaller spaces, the 4 ft Fashion Purple Pine has 196 tips and 150 clear lights, and the 3 ft Fashion Purple is a 97-tip tabletop tree with 50 clear lights in a burlap sack base. The flocked Color Tree comes in flocked purple at 4.5 and 7.5 ft. Our purple Christmas trees guide goes deeper on shades, sizes, and styling, and you can see every option in the purple collection.
Pink
Pink runs wider than most people expect. Beyond the slim Pink Alpine above, the 6.5 ft Pre-Lit Fashion Pink matches the purple at 836 tips and 300 clear lights on a 42-inch diameter, so pink can be the main tree rather than the accent. The 4 ft Fashion Pink Pine has 196 tips and 150 clear lights, and the 4 ft Pink Tree in Burlap Sac has 146 tips and 70 clear lights, perfect for a tabletop or shelf. For a snow-dusted pink, the 4 ft Pink Flocked Alpine Pencil has 139 tips and 50 clear lights, and the flocked Color Tree also comes in flocked pink at 4.5 and 7.5 ft. Browse them together in the pink collection.
Black
Beyond the black pines above, which come in 4 and 6 ft, the Twig Tree comes in black at 6 ft with warm white LED lights for a lighter, more sculptural look in an entryway or modern room. The 6 ft black pine is also listed as a Halloween tree, so it earns its storage space twice a year.
Blue
Blue runs from tabletop to main tree. The 6.5 ft Fashion Blue matches the purple at 836 tips and 300 clear lights. The 4 ft Fashion Blue has 196 tips and 150 clear lights on a 29-inch diameter, and the 3 ft Fashion Blue is a 97-tip tabletop tree with 50 clear lights in a burlap sack base. For a snow-dusted look, the flocked blue Alpine pencil trees come in 6 ft (261 branches, 100 clear lights) and 7 ft (318 branches, 150 clear lights). The flocked Color Tree comes in blue at 4.5, 6.5, and 7.5 ft, and the 4.5 ft Potted Blue Arctic Fir has 419 branch tips and 70 warm white LED lights in a decorative pot. See the core blue trees in the blue collection.
Rose Gold
Beyond the 7.5- and 6.5-ft trees above, rose gold comes in smaller sizes too. The 4 ft Rose Gold Alpine Pencil has 136 branches and 50 clear lights on a slim pencil frame, and the 3 ft Rose Gold Tree is a 97-tip tabletop tree with 50 clear lights in a burlap sack base. Rose gold pairs well with white, blush, and champagne ornaments for a soft, polished look.
White
The white trees above cover most rooms. For tall ceilings, the White Fraser Fir comes in 9 ft with clear lights. For a bare-branch winter look, the White Twig Tree comes in 4 and 6 ft with warm white LED lights, and it sits in the twig tree collection.
Fiber Optic and Novelty
A fiber optic tree carries light through fine strands that glow at the branch tips, so the whole tree shimmers. Puleo's 4 ft Fiber Optic Patriotic Tree pairs fiber optics with 130 red, white, and blue LED lights on a 21.5-inch diameter, and its listing presents it for both Christmas and the Fourth of July. For something playful, the 6 ft Whimsical Wrapped Tree has 422 light green branches with red ball accents and 150 clear lights.
If you are weighing a colored tree at full height, the 7.5 ft rose gold tree and the flocked Color Tree at 7.5 ft sit in the same size range as most main living-room trees. Our 7.5 ft Christmas tree buying guide explains how profile and flocking change how a tree of that height reads in a room.
Colored Does Not Mean Cheap
Some colored trees look like novelty props, not because of the color. It's a low tip count, a thin profile, and flat material, the same things that make a cheap green tree look fake. So judge a colored tree on the same three numbers you'd use anywhere.
Tip count tells you how full it reads. A pencil-accent tree like the 4 ft rose gold Alpine sits around 136 branches on purpose because it's meant to be slim and sculptural. A statement main tree like the purple 6.5 ft carries 836 tips because it needs presence. Neither number is wrong. They're built for different jobs. What you don't want is a tree that's trying to be a full centerpiece at a low tip count, because that's where the "it looks like a decoration, not a tree" feeling comes from.
Profile tells you where it fits. Many of Puleo's colored trees are slim or pencil builds, which is honestly the right instinct for color. Bold colors work best as accents in corners, entryways, and tabletops, not as a wide tree swallowing the middle of a room. If you want a colored tree with a fuller presence, the 6.5 ft purple, pink, blue, and rose gold trees and the 7.5 ft rose gold are your densest options.
Lighting tells you the maintenance story. Most colored trees above are pre-lit with clear incandescent lights, which keeps the color reading clean and warm. A few use warm white LEDs, and the White Carson Pine also comes unlit. If you'd rather control the light color yourself, an unlit tree is worth a look, and we lay out both sides in our pre-lit vs. unlit Christmas trees guide. Buying pre-lit from the manufacturer also means the same place supplies replacement bulbs and adapters.
Colored Trees Compared
| Color | Reads as | Typical build | Best spot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pink | Playful, whimsical | Slim pencil, or full at 6.5 ft with 836 tips | Kid's room, corner, or a main tree |
| White / flocked | Soft, wintry, neutral | Slim pencil, full, or twig | Bedroom, narrow room, entryway |
| Black | Bold, architectural | Pine with 177 to 495 tips, or a 6 ft twig tree | Console, entryway, pairs |
| Purple / blue | Jewel-tone statement | Full, 836 tips, 300 lights | Main tree, anchors a room |
| Rose gold | Soft but polished | Full, up to 1,315 tips at 7.5 ft, or a slim pencil | Main tree or a styled accent |
| Fiber optic | Playful, high glow | 4 ft, LED and fiber optic | Tabletop, kid's room, Fourth of July |
How to Choose Your Colored Tree in One Pass
Put it together, and the decision gets simple. Work in this order:
- Pick your intent: Family and whimsy, or designer and statement. This decides your color family and your size before anything else. Whimsy leans pink, white, flocked, and small. Statement leans black, purple, blue, and rose gold.
- Then size to the room: Measure ceiling height, subtract about 12 inches, and measure the floor width you can give up. A kid's room or an accent corner usually wants a slim 3.5 to 6 ft tree. A statement main tree can go taller and fuller.
- Then check the tip count: Match it to the job. Low tips for a slim sculptural accent, high tips for a tree meant to anchor a room. Don't buy a low-tip tree expecting a full centerpiece.
- Then confirm the finish: Pre-lit or unlit, flocked or solid color. This is the fun, low-risk part, because by now the size and fullness are already right.
Do it in that order, and you skip the classic colored-tree regret: falling for a photo, buying a tree that's the wrong size or too sparse for the spot, and ending up with something that looks like a novelty instead of a design choice.
Which Puleo Colored Tree Fits Which Buyer
- You're decorating a kid's room or nursery: Go soft and small. The Pink Alpine in 4 or 6 ft, or a flocked white pencil if you want soft and neutral. Both are slim, pre-lit, and flame-retardant.
- You want a bold, grown-up statement piece: A 6 ft black pine as a modern accent, or a pair of 4 ft black pines flanking an entry. The tree does the work.
- You want color as your main tree, not just an accent: Go dense. The 6.5 ft purple, 6.5 ft blue, or 7.5 ft rose gold has the fullness to anchor a room.
- You want playful but still deliberate: A 4 ft rose gold pencil as an accent, or browse the full colorful collection to compare colors side by side.
- You want something nobody else on the street has: The 4 ft fiber optic tree in red, white, and blue, which can come back out for the Fourth of July.
FAQs: Colored Christmas Trees
What Colors Do Artificial Christmas Trees Come In?
At Puleo, colored trees come in purple, pink, black, blue, rose gold, and white, plus flocked pink, blue, purple, and white versions and a red, white, and blue fiber optic tree. Purple starts at 3 ft and pink at 4 ft, and both reach 7.5 ft in the flocked Color Tree. Rose gold also reaches 7.5 ft and has 1,315 branch tips. You can browse most of them together in the colorful tree collection.
Are Colored Christmas Trees Tacky?
Only when they're built cheap, and that's a spec problem, not a color problem. A colored tree looks tacky for the same reasons a green one does: a low tip count, a thin profile, and flat material trying to pass as a full tree. A well-built colored tree with the right tip count reads as a deliberate design choice. Judge colored trees on fullness and finish, exactly like you'd judge a green one.
What Size Colored Tree Should I Get for a Kid's Room?
For a bedroom or nursery, a 3.5 to 6 ft slim or pencil tree usually fits without crowding the space. Measure the ceiling and subtract about a foot for the topper, then check the floor width against the spot you have in mind. A pencil profile is ideal because it tucks into a corner. Pre-lit saves you stringing lights in a tight room, and flame-retardant, hypoallergenic materials matter around young children.
Is a Black Christmas Tree a Good Idea?
Yes, if you want a statement and you like modern, dramatic décor. A black tree reads architectural and bold, especially against light walls or with warm lights woven through it. It works best as an accent (on a console, in an entryway, or as a matching pair) rather than as a wide centerpiece. Just know that a bold color commits your room to that look, so buy it as an accent if you still want a traditional tree.
Can a Colored Tree Be a Full Main Tree, Not Just an Accent?
Yes. Most colored trees are built slim on purpose because bold color works well as an accent, but some are dense enough to anchor a room. Puleo's 6.5 ft purple, pink, and blue trees carry 836 branch tips and 300 lights, and the 7.5 ft rose gold carries 1,315 tips and 500 lights. They hold ornaments and command space like a green main tree. If you want color as your centerpiece, shop by tip count and choose a full profile.
Pink, White, or Flocked for a Whimsical Look?
Pick pink if you want the color to be the whole statement, like a daughter's room or a themed corner. Choose white or flocked for a soft, neutral, wintry look instead of a strong color. Flocked trees add a snow-dusted, storybook texture that photographs beautifully. All three come in slim pencil shapes and small heights, so any of them fits a bedroom or a tight corner without taking over.
What Is a Fiber Optic Christmas Tree?
A fiber optic tree uses fine optical strands that carry light to the branch tips, so the tree glows from the tips as well as from its bulbs. Puleo's 4 ft Fiber Optic Patriotic Tree pairs fiber optics with 130 red, white, and blue LED lights, and its listing presents it for both Christmas and the Fourth of July. At 48 inches tall, it works as an accent rather than a main tree.
Can I Get Replacement Bulbs for a Pre-Lit Colored Tree?
Yes. Most of Puleo's colored trees are pre-lit with clear incandescent lights, and Puleo sells replacement bulbs and power adapters for its own trees in its replacement parts collection. Compare the base of your current bulbs to the product photo before ordering. Several smaller colored trees also list lights that stay lit if one bulb burns out.
Do Colored Trees Come with a Warranty?
Most of the colored trees in this guide list a 5-year warranty on the tree and a 2-year warranty on the lights on their product pages. That covers the frame and the pre-attached lighting separately. The twig trees list a one-year warranty on the tree. Confirm the current terms on the specific product page before you buy, since warranty coverage can change.
