Colour pair
Blue and Teal: Do They Go Together?
Yes, with care. Blue and teal sit next to each other on the colour wheel, so they blend (analogous). Either colour can go on top; keep the lighter one closer to the face if you want it to look fresh.

What blue and teal 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.
teal
A deep blue-green that sits between warm and cool. Rich and unusual, it flatters many colourings.
Works best as: Knitwear, dresses and scarves.
