Tips for pairing them

Use white or sand as the base and spread turquoise and coral around as accents. At home, they look great on pillows, towels and beachy dinnerware. In fashion, a coral dress with turquoise accessories is perfect for summer. In design, one can be the main color and the other the button color.

Contrast between them: 1.2:1. Don’t put text in one color on the other: it’s hard to read.
