The two colours

What cream and forest green each bring

A signature pairing. Strong depth contrast, soft overall.

cream

A warm, soft white. Gentler than pure white against the face, and the easiest light colour for warm and muted colouring.

Works best as: Knitwear, wide trousers and coats; a cream winter white is softer than stark white.

forest green

A deep, dark green. Rich and autumnal, it behaves almost like a neutral in winter wardrobes.

Works best as: Knits, coats, trousers.
