I purchased this for the print to work with the slinky "sun" yellow. The print doesn't look good with blue or black as there is not enough contrast but it does go very well with off white also and of course a black pant and I needed some pieces to work with 'sun' and will be able now to work that into fall and winter as the print has a look that is soft and velvety. It is a nice change from so many flowered patterns.
