jack-o'-lantern and decoration knowledge
Orange + black are the main colors, with purple, green, and neon as common accent colors; pumpkin, bat, spider web, and ghost are the most used symbols
Orange represents autumn harvest and pumpkins, black represents night and mystery, and this is the most basic combination. For more depth, add purple (witches/magic), neon green (poison/glow), or off-white (ghosts/bones).
For symbols, pumpkins, bats, spider webs, ghosts, witch hats, and tombstones are the most common. When decorating, pick 1–2 main motifs and repeat them, which looks cleaner than piling on every element

Not necessarily. Neon yard style and gothic black-and-gold are both common — as long as the main colors stay consistent, it won't look messy
For children's settings, brighten things up with orange, purple, and off-white, and avoid large areas of pure black and scary elements
