Inspired by the swiss lakes region as well as runway fashion, inky indigo blues, deep-water blues and pin-striped navy blue menswear are safe and familiar. Paired with surprising color combinations can make blue either funky or serioius. Blue with gray is reliable while blue with canary yellow or lemongrass is edgy.
Take a sample home. Live with it. See how it looks (and how you feel about it) throughout the day or during the time of the day you spend most at home; colors change their personality at different times of day, in different lights.
