What colours go well with navy?

C&S, on March 7, 2015 at 3:59 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 22

My FMIL bought her dress for our wedding today. It's GORGEOUS. Long, navy lace with a beautiful beaded neckline. She has amazing style, so I knew she would find something beautiful. I showed a picture of her dress to my mom and my mom said she wants to wear a complimenting colour so the moms aren't clashing and look nice together in photos.

What colours should my mom look at?

    Well, navy blue is one of those colors that works with a lot of other colors. Some pairings will look great to you, and others will look terrible to you. It's a matter of opinion. In any event, white, yellow, peach, lime green, red, purple, orange, pink, emerald green, gold, and silver have all been paired with navy blue. Some pairings are crisp and clean, some are softer, and others are vibrant and contrasting. Adding a third color is more complicated, so if you already have navy and another color, it's best to steer your mom in that direction if she wants to be coordinated. Otherwise, you can incorporate mom's dress color into your navy theme.

    To find out what speaks to you, google them in succession and click on images (i.e., "Navy and white weddings").

    Almost anything would go with blue, except maybe not red unless you want a patriotic look.

    All of them, but I particularly like blush, peach, and metallics.

    I agree that almost everything goes with navy. The only colors I'd avoid are bright red (as @Julia mentions), black, and another shade of dark blue that's too close.

    Olive, gold or coral would definitely complement (anything with some yellow undertone).

    Just to throw this out there to you, C&S, and the other brides, check out https://color.adobe.com/. I'm a graphic designer and always use this for color inspiration! You can create your balanced color scheme easily with this!

    Hot pink! We were going to do navy and hot pink but decided to go with royal blue and hot pink. I think coral or teal would go really well Smiley smile

    My first thought was coral or lime.

    Really you could pair basically any color you would wear with a pair of jeans. I agree that it acts as a neutral tone, it would be hard to clash.

    Navy is a neutral, literally anything but black goes well with Navy!
