Chromatic Party

Essentially, the theme of this party is color! Each guest should dress in colorful clothes, with bonus points for those who show up wearing only one color. The decorations should be in every color of the rainbow: the brighter, the better.

Of course, the best part of any party is the food. Each dish has to be only one color. This could include anything from colorful cupcakes to an entire dinner, as long as each dish is monochromatic. Here are some ideas:

Red: red bell peppers sliced up, strawberries, red smoothies, apples
Orange: carrots, oranges, macaroni and cheese, cheez-its, cheddar cheese, doritos
Yellow: lemons, lemon cake/squares, lemonade, corn, bananas, scrambled eggs
Green: broccoli, spinach, green pasta, brussel sprouts, edamame, saag paneer, grapes, avocado/guacamole
Blue: blueberries, blue corn chips, blue potatoes, blue smoothies
Purple: cabbage, grapes, blackberries, eggplant
Black: black beans, wild rice
White: pasta, angel food cake, meringues, vanilla ice cream, hummus, saltines, potatoes
Brown: chocolate, bean dip, lentils, beef

Of course, food coloring can be used to make things like cake and cookies any color you like. Some other options are Jello and M&Ms, which you can get in pretty much any color too.

  1. This is definitely a great party idea! It would be just as fun to plan and make the food as the actual party!
