Color Combos You Never Thought Would Work

Some color combinations just seem like they couldn’t possibly work. 

Blue and orange. Pink and blue. Pink and green. (Hell — pink and anything.) And yet … they can. As you’ll see in the photos that follow, it’s not so much the colors themselves, but the shades you use and how you combine them that make the difference. Even blue and orange can work together if you do it right.

pink and green space works because of the variety of pinks used. By varying the range from the barest powder-puff pink to an intense rosy red, you increase the chances it’ll harmonize with the green. And the stripe reads less pink than if it had been a solid field with a single hue.

Pink and blue 

Always struck me as a combination best suited for nurseries when the parents didn’t want to know the sex of their baby in advance. But this pairing works beautifully. The blue is the most sublime pastel, and the pink (one of my least favorite colors) is pretty luscious, too. Pastels almost always work together, whatever the hue.

Blue and orange. Well, shut my mouth and call me Shirley. Here are my old school colors, in all their glory. Well, not exactly. The blue is a bit paler; the orange is a bit browner. Blue and brown work well together, so when you bring out those undertones in neighboring colors, it works.
