The two colours
What blue and grey each bring
A signature pairing. Grey tones blue down for everyday wear.
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.
grey
The middle neutral: calm, professional and cool. It gives brighter colours a clean backdrop and makes an outfit look quietly competent.
Works best as: Trousers, suits and knitwear.
