How to wear turquoise
A turquoise piece looks great with white, beige or jeans. With coral or orange you get a bold summer look. Silver jewelry and brown leather give it a boho feel. For shoes, nude, white and brown are safe.
Turquoise in home decor
Turquoise looks great on throw pillows, vases, tiles or a front door. Pair it with white or sand walls so it stands out. With wood, wicker and coral details it feels very tropical. In bathrooms, turquoise with white is fresh and clean.
Turquoise in graphic and web design
Turquoise grabs attention and feels fresh. Since its contrast with white is low, use it for backgrounds or icons rather than small text; use dark text on top of it.
What to avoid
Avoid pairing it with equally saturated greens or blues, because it looks busy. With black it can look aggressive if you use a lot of turquoise.
