What not to wear for New Year 2026 — colors that anger the Horse
Celebrating the New Year is more than just a party — it’s a symbolic ritual to attract the energy of luck and abundance. To do so, people "appease" the animal that rules the year. In 2026, it’s the Red Fire Horse — a creature that rejects indifference, darkness, and cold tones. Astrologers warn that even the color of your outfit can influence your future success.
Novyny.LIVE explains which colors should not be worn on New Year’s Eve 2026 if you want to keep prosperity and harmony close.
The year of the Red Fire Horse — what the 2026 patron symbolizes
According to the Eastern calendar, 2026 falls under the sign of the Red Fire Horse — proud, strong, passionate, and independent. Its energy is movement, passion, and a thirst for victory. The Horse cannot be subdued by cold or darkness; it seeks light, warmth, and motion. That’s why astrologers advise against colors that could "extinguish" its flame.
Colors to avoid on New Year’s Eve 2026
- Blue — the antagonist of fire
Blue represents the element of Water, which extinguishes Fire. Avoid blue dresses, suits, or accessories on New Year’s Eve — they can disrupt the energetic balance and dim the Horse’s flame. Replace them with vibrant red or warm orange tones — symbols of passion and vitality.
- Light Blue — the chill that drives luck away
Even soft pastel blue tones are linked to calmness and cold. In the year of the Fire Horse, they may "freeze" your plans or slow down progress. Save the blue dress for another event — choose warmer shades for this night to keep your energy flowing.
- White — cold and impersonal
While elegant and universal, white doesn’t fully match the Horse’s fiery spirit. Opt for cream, ivory, or warm milk tones instead — they keep the feeling of purity while resonating with the Fire element.
- Gray — a symbol of fatigue and stagnation
Gray may look refined but drains vitality. For the fiery Horse, it represents apathy and stagnation. To attract energy, brightness, and productivity in 2026, steer clear of gray — it can dampen your motivation.
- Black — the color of endings
Though timeless and chic, black is discouraged this New Year’s Eve. It symbolizes closure and mourning, while the holiday embodies renewal and hope. Swap it for burgundy, gold, or copper — colors that align with Fire and invite success.
