A soft gray is the perfect backdrop for a striking color needing to stand out—a color like turquoise. The perfect blend of blue and green, turquoise pops beautifully against a subdued gray. The most wonderful quality of turquoise is its versatility: It matches the Caribbean waters for a summer beach celebration, it blends well with bright spring tones, and hints at a beautiful winter wonderland. From wall décor to bouquets, turquoise and gray are a perfect pair. For turquoise jewelry ideas, check out this collection.
