The colors you may choose for a simple candle drawing are almost limitless. We selected tan colors to make a neutral candle, although candles can come in a broad variety of varied and intriguing colors! A combination of different tones of orange and yellow can provide a realistic flickering look for the flame. However, since this is your unique creation, we encourage you to use whichever colors best suit your mood, or perhaps your room color scheme where you plan to exhibit your lovely work!
