If you're planning on attending a Halloween party this year, you can expect to see a slew of blacks, whites, reds and oranges. Even kids are used to wearing costumes made up of these colors. But this Halloween, you can diverge from the norm and let your child wear something more colorful.

Halloween costume designs vary from being too common to being too non-Halloween. But the design for common Halloween costumes can be changed so that it is more colorful. This can be done by accessorizing. Which Halloween costumes can you add color to without straying from the Halloween theme? Here are a few suggestions...

Ghost costumes are the default costume for most parents because it's truly the easiest to prepare. Simply a white bed sheet with a cut out eye and arm holes will do. Plain white is the common theme, but you can always do something to spruce up this costume. A pretty hat will make your ghost costume a trendier one.

You can also let your child wear an ugly mask to go with a colorful Hawaiian costume. Your child can be the werewolf who took a vacation to the Caribbean. The Orcs are a brave and scary bunch, but this does not mean they cannot wear pink.

Not all witches should wear exclusively black costumes. Some witch costumes can be bronze or red. Another option is to apply color on witch accessories like the broom or the hat.

A zombie can ditch the dirt spattered clothes and go for more colorful one. A skeleton may wear a corsage or a hat in bright colors. Admittedly, it's hard to add a splash of color to the Victorian Gothic elegance of Count Dracula. The truth is, count Dracula can dress in any way he wants as long as the fangs and the blood stains are there. - 39969
