The two colours

What blue and dark brown 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.

dark brown

The deepest brown: rich, warm and quietly formal. Polished enough for the office, relaxed enough for weekends.

Works best as: Shoes, belts and winter knits.
