The two colours

What cream and grey 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.

grey

The middle neutral: calm, professional and cool. It gives brighter colours a clean backdrop and makes an outfit look quietly competent.

Works best as: Trousers, suits and knitwear.
