What goes with Deep Grayish Olive?

Deep Grayish Olive is a muted, dark yellow from Sanzo Wada's A Dictionary of Color Combinations, the 1933 reference Awtfit uses to score every outfit it builds. Wada recorded 2 palettes containing Deep Grayish Olive. Those are the combinations below, and they are the ones Awtfit scores your wardrobe against.

How to wear it

As a rule, Deep Grayish Olive goes with grey, denim and chocolate brown, which give it somewhere quiet to land. Because it is muted, it behaves like a neutral, so build freely on top of it.

  • The safe version: Deep Grayish Olive plus one partner from its palette, plus a neutral in the largest area.
  • The lightness check: keep a clear step in brightness between it and whatever sits next to it, or the outfit goes flat however correct the hues are.
  • If you own one piece in it: treat that piece as the point of the outfit and build quietly around it.
