Green and Mustard: Do They Go Together?

Works

Yes, with care. Green and mustard can work together if a neutral anchors the outfit. 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 green and mustard each bring

green

A true, saturated green. Fresh and confident, it's an accent colour that works best with neutrals.

Works best as: One accent piece.

mustard

A deep, warm yellow with a brown cast. Autumnal and vintage-feeling, it's easier to wear than bright yellow.

Works best as: Knitwear, skirts and scarves.
