Can you combine two shades of green?

Yes, if the shades differ clearly in lightness, for example khaki and dark green or mint and olive. A neutral piece in white, beige or black in between keeps the look calm.

What shoe colour goes with dark green?

Brown and black go most easily with dark green. Brown looks warmer, black clearer. With an otherwise dark outfit, beige and cream are also possible.

Do green and burgundy go together?

Yes, burgundy is a dark red and makes a strong contrast with green. The combination is seen as autumnal. It looks calmest when you add beige or cream as a third colour.

What Colour Goes With Green? Combining Green and Dark Green

Beige, brown, cream, white and black go with green most easily. Burgundy and pink add deliberate accents. With dark green, light shades such as cream and beige give contrast.

You have green trousers, a jumper or a skirt in your wardrobe and are not sure what goes with it? Green is seen as a natural colour and works with many shades. Here you can read which colour goes with green, how to combine dark green and khaki, and which three outfits you can easily put together.

What colour goes with green?

Earth tones and neutrals go best with green. They keep the green calm and are easy to wear every day.

Beige and cream make an outfit with green light and soft.
Brown looks warm and goes well with muted shades such as olive and khaki.
Black makes the outfit clearer and calmer.
White adds freshness and lets the green stand out more.
Burgundy and pink are accent colours and set a contrast.

Green and red make a strong contrast. That is why reddish shades such as burgundy and pink look stronger next to green than beige or cream. One piece in one of these colours is usually enough.

One simple rule helps with every combination: stick to three colours at most per outfit. Green is one of them, a neutral is the second. The third can be an accent, but does not have to be. That keeps the look calm, even when the green is strong. A general overview of colours is given in our guide Colour Combinations for Clothes.

What colour goes with dark green?

Cream, beige, white, brown and burgundy go with dark green. Dark green is a deep, calm shade. You can use it much like black, but it brings more colour into the outfit.

Light shades give dark green contrast. Dark green trousers with a cream top look tidy, and a dark green jumper over a white blouse looks fresh. Dark green with black gives a very muted look. A light accent such as cream or white keeps it lively. You will find light tops in the tops.

For shoes, brown and black are the safe choice. Brown ankle boots look warm with dark green, black ankle boots look clearer. Beige or cream also work as a shoe colour when the rest of the outfit is dark.

Combining khaki and olive green

Khaki is a muted green with a touch of brown. It behaves almost like an earth tone. White, cream, beige, brown and black go with khaki. More on this can be found in our guide What Colour Goes with Khaki and Olive.

Khaki with white is the easy option, for example khaki trousers with a white top.
Khaki with beige gives a soft tone-on-tone look.
Khaki with black looks sporty and clear.
Khaki with dark green works when the two shades differ clearly in lightness.

Green with beige, brown and cream: earthy combinations

Beige and cream. They are the calmest choice. Beige trousers with a green top, or a cream knit jumper with dark green trousers, look harmonious. You will find a selection in the beige trousers.

Brown. Brown and green both come from nature, so they go well together. Brown ankle boots, a brown belt or brown trousers add warmth to a green piece.

Taupe. This muted grey-brown also goes with olive and dark green and looks softer than black. You can read more about this shade in the guide Combining taupe.

Combining green with black and white

Black and white are neutral and go with almost any green. Black gives a clear look, white a fresher one. Together they form a simple frame in which the green takes centre stage.

Green and black: dark green trousers with a black top and black ankle boots are understated. A white shirt underneath makes the look lighter. That helps especially in autumn and winter, when the days are short and many pieces are dark.

Green and white: a white blouse with a green skirt or green trousers suits everyday life, the office and summer. With a light green such as mint, white looks especially airy, and with dark green it gives a clear contrast.

Green with burgundy and pink: using colour deliberately

Burgundy is a dark red and makes a strong contrast with dark green. The combination is seen as autumnal and elegant. If this look interests you, the guide Combining burgundy can help.

Pink is the lighter, softer variant. With olive and khaki a soft pink looks fresh, while with dark green a stronger pink looks striking. Keep the rest of the outfit neutral, for example with beige or white. You will find matching jumpers in the pink jumpers.

Three outfits with green

Earthy. Khaki trousers, a cream top, brown ankle boots and a beige jacket. Everything stays in warm, muted shades. The outfit suits a walk, the office and the weekend.

Calm. A dark green jumper over a white blouse, with black trousers and black ankle boots. The white collar brings light to the face, and the black pieces keep the look calm.

With colour. Dark green trousers, a burgundy top and a beige jacket. The jacket ties the two strong shades together. Shoes and a bag in brown go with it.
