Best

The two colours

What cream and pink 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.

pink

A soft, light pink. Gentle and warm, it's more versatile than people think, especially as a shirt or knit.

Works best as: Shirts, knits and dresses.
