Colour pair
Blue and Pink: Do They Go Together?
Only with care. Two bright colours with no clear relationship (blue, pink) compete; add a neutral between them. Either colour can go on top; keep the lighter one closer to the face if you want it to look fresh.

pink
The two colours
What blue and pink 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.
pink
A soft, light pink. Gentle and warm, it's more versatile than people think, especially as a shirt or knit.
Works best as: Shirts, knits and dresses.
