Trying to figure out colors to wear with chartreuse? Today we’re talking all about this beautiful spring color and which colors pair well with it!
Chartreuse is one of the big colors of the year, especially for spring. It’s a gorgeous color, but if you purchased something in this color, it might be tricky to figure out what to wear with it.
Remember, these outfits are just color combination ideas, so if you have a chartreuse top, you can pair shoes or accessories or pants or shorts or a skirt in the color combinations to get the same look, without having the same pieces.

What Colors to Wear With Chartreuse
CHARTREUSE AND CREAM
This is an easy color combination that’s neutral and subtle with the bright pants. If you’re nervous about wearing these pants, start with something like this!

CHARTREUSE AND OLIVE GREEN
You know I love a monochromatic kind of outfit because regardless of the shades of color, they work together! Olive and chartreuse was a little bit of an unexpected match, but I love it.

CHARTREUSE AND NAVY BLUE
This is another subtle option that I think pairs SO well together and lets the green really pop. But I had to add a pair of fun flats in there to add a little interest to the outfit!

CHARTREUSE AND CORNFLOWER BLUE
Oooh, I love this color combination so much. The bold blue with the bold green just feels so happy and perfect for summer.

CHARTREUSE AND HOT PINK
I’ve deemed this summer the “summer of color” for me. I don’t know that I ever would have paired these together, but when I’m trying to wear more color, this is an absolute YES for me. I think pairing the solid green with a printed pink helps break it up a little bit, and make the two items work well together.

CHARTREUSE AND STRIPES
Another safe and fabulous option — STRIPES! Stripes go with everything, and chartreuse green is no exception. This is an easy pairing that will feel safe if you’re nervous about the bold pants.

CHARTREUSE AND CERULEAN
I’m absolutely in love with this color combination, and with the smaller hints of cerulean, it doesn’t feel so overwhelming or too bold. I wore this combination last weekend for a day of brunch and the farmers market with my husband, and loved it.

CHARTREUSE AND YELLOW
Yellow and green are next to each other on the color wheel, which means they’re “analogous,” so they really make sense together. I think the key here is to choose a light yellow that doesn’t compete too much with the green. I chose a light yellow and white stripe, which tones the yellow down even more, and I think this works beautifully.

CHARTREUSE AND BLACK
If you’re someone who loves wearing black, but wants to add some color, this is a great way to do it. Black tee, and bright colored pants (or a skirt) is fun and still feels safe! I also wanted to show you how these pants work well with sneakers!

CHARTREUSE AND ORCHID PURPLE
I absolutely love this bright color of pink-ish/purple, and think it’s gorgeous with the green. This is a pairing I’ll for sure do again in the summer when I’m needing a boost of color!

CHARTREUSE AND BROWN
Brown has been a really big color the last year or so, and I think brown and green are perfect together. It gives a very clean, earthy vibe that makes so much sense.

CHARTREUSE AND AQUA
This is probably my least favorite pairing of all these colors, but only because I think this aqua tee is TOO bright. I think a softer aqua would have been much better, but in general I think the combination works. Just choose your aqua carefully!

CHARTREUSE AND LAVENDER
This was an unexpected favorite! I love purple, and I think this soft lavender color is perfect with the green and compliments it perfectly.

CHARTREUSE AND FLORAL
Ok, I know most of these tops were floral, so calling this a floral top seems silly, but after showing so many other shades of blue here, I didn’t feel like this could count as ANOTHER blue. So here we are. I think this pairing is gorgeous and perfect and I’ll be wearing this all summer.

CHARTREUSE AND LIGHT ORANGE
I don’t know that this is my favorite outfit, but I had picked up this top for another post and when choosing color combos with these pants, I held up this shirt and loved the color combo. But I wish it was maybe a different cut of shirt and then I would wear different shoes. I love all these pieces individually, and love the color combo, but this outfit all together is a little “meh” for me.

CHARTREUSE AND LIGHT BLUE
I love this blue and green combination! So summery and so perfectly paired.

CHARTREUSE AND WHITE
Another safe option — green and white! This is crisp and pretty and much more subtle than a lot of these options. If you’re looking for the safe combo, start here.

CHARTREUSE AND CHARTREUSE
And, of course, you cannot forget a true monochromatic moment! We did olive and chartreuse at the beginning, but this pairing with two pieces that are almost the exact same color is amazing. I love that it gives a little bit of a jumpsuit feel, and then you can have fun with the accessories, like shoes and earrings.
