Traditions and customs about baptismal candles

What color palette is indicated?

Traditionally, christening clothes are white to symbolize the child's innocence and purity. Depending on the material from which they are made, the white of the clothes can appear more or less intense. If the clothes are made of satin or silk, they will give the impression of a stronger white. To fade a little of the intensity of the white, tulle or lace is usually used, which masks and reduces the brightness, while giving an extra touch of elegance. If you don't want white clothes, you can opt for pastel colors or accessories with details in stronger colors.
