What blue and olive 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.
olive
A muted, earthy green that behaves like a neutral. Utilitarian and warm, it looks strong in autumn and relaxed in spring.
Works best as: Chinos, cargo pants, field jackets and overshirts.
