Great colour combinations

What are you favourite colour combinations? Maybe ones that are a bit unusual? And which colours do you absolutely loath together?
Not just for clothes but for accessories, homewares, home decor etc?

Following with interest! I love purple/teal, navy/gold/peach.

I was once given a bag which was orange/yellow/lime green which I hated! Envy

I have a thing for a certain shade of hot pink with orange (it has to be exactly the right shades though.)

Can’t stand green and purple together as clothing .... makes people look like Barney yet a scary number of people esp ladies over a certain age seem to love if!

Great colour combinations

I’ve seen some beautiful light pink and green combos.

Dark turquoise/teal with brick red. I discovered the combination by accident when my son took some non matching towels out of the airing cupboard and hung them in the bathroom

Interesting to look at the Pantone 'Colour of the Year' for 2021. A grey and a vibrant yellow. I'm already starting to see this pair together in advertisements.

Isn't that colour combination basically the branding of the paint brush etc company, Diall?

Thought of another bad one - red and white. Makes the person/room look like a pack of cards!
