What are Color-way Ornaments?
Color-way ornaments, also known as repaints, are Hallmark Keepsake ornaments that have all
or part of the ornament painted a different color than the original ornament in the
Keepsake Collection. They are produced by Hallmark in limited quantities compared to the
line ornaments and used as prizes or incentives for various events and situations. The
secondary market value of these items depends on how many were produced, how difficult
they are to get and the popularity of the original ornament or its series. Most of these
items are boxed in the same box as the original line ornament but have a gold sticker on
the front upper corner designating the event or situation for which they were produced.
However, the earliest color-ways/repaints were boxed in original boxes with NO color-way
sticker or designation to note the difference in the ornament. Hallmark no longer use the gold sticker on the boxes
are marked Special Edition, Limited Quantity, or there can be a description of the Event or Artist signing in the description on the box.
