How to wear mustard
A mustard sweater looks great with dark jeans, gray pants or a black skirt. Add camel and brown for a complete fall look. For shoes, go with brown, black or white. A mustard scarf is the easiest way to add color to a gray or navy coat.
Mustard in home decor
Mustard works as an accent on throw pillows, armchairs, blankets or an accent wall. Pair it with gray or white walls and mid-tone wood. Next to petrol blue or olive green it creates a retro feel. Black details add a modern touch.
Mustard in graphic and web design
Mustard has good contrast with black or navy text, but little with white text. Use it to highlight buttons or headlines on dark backgrounds like navy blue or charcoal.
What to avoid
Avoid pairing it with lemon yellow or lime green, because mustard looks dirty next to them. Bright orange also competes with it.
