Mustard and Pink: Do They Go Together?

Careful

Only with care. Two bright colours with no clear relationship (mustard, pink) compete; add a neutral between them. 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 mustard and pink each bring

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.

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.
