What goes with Deep Slate Olive?

Deep Slate Olive is a muted, dark neutral from Sanzo Wada's A Dictionary of Color Combinations, the 1933 reference Awtfit uses to score every outfit it builds. Wada recorded 10 palettes containing Deep Slate Olive. Those are the combinations below, and they are the ones Awtfit scores your wardrobe against.

How to wear it

As a rule, Deep Slate Olive goes with cream, bone and warm white, which is the pairing that stops dark neutrals reading as heavy. Because it is muted, it behaves like a neutral, so build freely on top of it.

  • The safe version: Deep Slate 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.
