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

The two colours

What cream and lavender 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.

lavender

A pale, soft purple. Gentle and cool, it's a spring and summer pastel.

Works best as: Knits, shirts and dresses.
