The two colours

What blue and cream each bring

blue

A saturated, royal or cobalt blue. Bold and confident, it's a strong accent that reads cool and energetic.

Works best as: A single accent piece: a knit, a shirt, a dress.

cream

A warm, soft white. Gentler than pure white against the face, and the easiest light colour for warm and muted colouring.

Works best as: Knitwear, wide trousers and coats; a cream winter white is softer than stark white.
