The Darks

(navy blue, black and grey)

While I think black will always remain a classic color for weddings, interiors and fashion, navy blue is still coming on strong as it’s contender. Navy has a preppy and classic look to it, and can be used in place of black in almost any circumstance. Gray has been popular for some time now, and while I don’t think it can replace black completely, it’s a nice alternative to black or navy blue.
