The two colours

What cream and light blue 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.

light blue

A soft, cool, airy blue. Fresh and flattering near the face, it's the classic shirt colour.

Works best as: Shirts, summer knits and dresses.
