Cream and Green: Do They Go Together?

Best

Yes. Cream is a neutral, so it lets green be the accent without clashing. Most outfits put cream below the waist and green on top.

Two neutrals with clear contrast: cream and black always sit well together.

The two colours

What cream and green each bring

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.

green

A true, saturated green. Fresh and confident, it's an accent colour that works best with neutrals.

Works best as: One accent piece.
