Blue and Light grey: Do They Go Together?

Best

Yes. Light grey is a neutral, so it lets blue be the accent without clashing. Either colour can go on top; keep the lighter one closer to the face if you want it to look fresh.

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.

light grey

A cool, pale neutral that reads calm and modern. It is softer than white and pairs easily with pastels and dark neutrals.

Works best as: Sweatshirts, knits and summer suits.
