Colour pair
Cream and Teal: Do They Go Together?
Yes. Cream is a neutral, so it lets teal be the accent without clashing. Either colour can go on top; keep the lighter one closer to the face if you want it to look fresh.

The two colours
What cream and teal each bring
A signature pairing. Soft and elegant.
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.
teal
A deep blue-green that sits between warm and cool. Rich and unusual, it flatters many colourings.
Works best as: Knitwear, dresses and scarves.
