There are actually no traditional Hanukkah colors. But because of influence from Christmas (which DOES have traditional colors), Jewish people took the colors of the Israeli flag (blue and white) and use them for Hanukkah wrapping paper and decorations. But this "tradition" is only a few decades old".
