Of course the main question is - what does one pair with this strong color? Well, first off, let's start by saying that citron is the pop - not the base. I love it as an accent to shades of greyish blues, seashell pinks and nudes, and a dramatic black or rich brown.
A popular choice on the runways for the resort collections, it pairs freshly with white for summer, but is given more character and depth with the addition of some of these other color selections as well.
And - while quite intuitively modern in most settings - citron makes a beautiful choice for dramatic traditional settings as well. In fact - the upholstery on the antique accent chair in my living room could be considered a shade of citron! Pair it with gold and bronze to make the color shine through.
I can't wait to see how gorgeous it looks against deep teals and aubergine for fall, too!
