What Will Be Your Debut Color Motif?

Times have changed according to my mother. According to her, pastel colors like light pink or baby blue were common choices for color motif for debut parties. These colors are said to represent youth, sweetness, and everything associated with a young girl blossoming into womanhood.

Bolder color motif choices are being seen on debut parties. One that I've seen recently is my cousin Jessa's debut party. She chose to use her favorite colors black and red; the former being a color choice that used to be reserved for somber occasions and the latter for more festive events. Black, which has always been a  very classy color turned out to be a chic choice. 

Red made sure that the debutante stood out from the sea of black dresses for the traditional cotillion dance. What does this say about debut color motif choices the? That a debutante can choose what color she sees fit to use.

I have about 5 years to think about my choice.
