What colors go with grey?
Grey is a neutral that suits every colour. Light grey feels airy and modern; charcoal is serious and goes with everything.
Best colors with grey
- Navy. A calm, grown-up pair. Grey trousers and a navy blazer is a standard.
- Burgundy. Adds warmth to grey without shouting.
- Pink. Pink and grey is soft and modern, and works on both light and dark greys.
- Yellow. A bright pop against grey. Mustard works best.
- White. Light, clean contrast for a minimal look.
- Black. Tonal and easy: charcoal, grey and black in layers.
Colors to be careful with
- Beige. Both are muted. Together they can look dull unless the textures differ.
- Brown. Warm brown against cool grey can clash. Mid-brown with warm grey is safer.
