I’ve rarely seen such a pervasive and specific color story as this blue and gold combination that’s happening in London right now.
What is that exact shade of blue called?
There must be something in the air because I bought a cardigan in Seoul in that exact shade.

The first and third photos looks like peacock or teal blue. (I love the gorgeous mustard yellow mixed in for the first photo!)
The second and last photo seems more of a darker shade of cobalt blue (instead of the punchy, bright shade that Phillip Lim put out on his line NYC Fashion Week last week).

It looks like a dark teal to me. I managed to wear the latter of the two colour combinations to LFW on the first day (okay, more tan than gold), and a mixture of blue and mustard yesterday. All these colour combinations remind me of a designer called Charlotte Taylor, who created a lot of clothes in these palettes.
I love the combination of the hat and coat in the fast shot – when it doubt, always go for something classic.

This combination of blue and yellow (whether you want to call it teal blue and mustard gold or whatever) reminds me very much of the house colours for Ravenclaw in the Harry Potter series. Described as 'blue and bronze' in the book, they changed them to blue and silver/grey in the movie (missing out on the opportunity for this beautiful colour combo). Perfect for every wannabe Ravenclaw intellectual out there! (Ravenclaw being the house which values intelligence, creativity, learning and wit.) The first pic in particular does conjure up images of 1920s Bloomsbury Group intellectuals …

Everything about the woman taking the photo is perfect. I've not been a fan of those duckie-boot heels until seeing this, but her colour combination and slight ankles are so fetching. Even her photo strap matches her buttons.
I like the way that the teal breaks the mix of navy and burnt gold, softens it.

Direct from the tube it would be cerulean and/or manganese blue with a tiny touch of cad red or Naples yellow in it, which is why the honey-toned bags and scarves look so lovely in combination. It's definitely not teal…that doesn't have the clarity of hue and sounds like a bad flashback.

A lot of people are saying teal … I would call it more of a cerulean. Definitely not cobalt, as someone suggested!
In any case, I love it. Blue and gold were my school colors and since then I've never wanted to pair them up (I'm not the school-spirty type). But this exact combination is very dashing …

Like many, I think of these shades as being in the dark teal/mallard/peacock range, though each one is a little different. (The turban has less green than the others and actually looks closer to a Prussian blue to me.) This is my favorite muted blue hue and I look for it every year, mostly with little success — though I do have a thin knit sweater from the '80's that I treasure. Am excited that it's going to be more available this season. Time to stock up! It looks amazing with that deep, warm gold color (3rd image). I also love it with those killer burnt sienna/rich orange boots.
I've never heard the term 'petrol' used to describe this blue color before. Can someone please explain the reference?

"Something in the air?" Your comment brings to mind that scene from the Devil Wears Prada where Meryl Streep's character illuminates Anne Hathaway's on the reality of how Anne came to be wearing that ugly blue sweater. That is my favourite scene in the movie. It's up there with Michael Douglas' "Greed is good" diatribe from the first Wall Street.

oh my sweet Lord, look how aptly the words of Miranda Pristly (the devil wears prada) fit here:
"You go to your closet and you select . . . I don't know . . . that lumpy BLUE sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually CERULEAN. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent . . . wasn't it, who showed cerulean military jackets? And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. And then it, uh, filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic Casual Corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs, and it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff." I never thought I would find any depth in her words…Living and learning…

The colour is petrol blue, not teal. Teal is a shade of green (with A LOT of blue in it)whereas these clothes are definitely blue. Unless one is nitpicky, which I quite clearly am, teal and petrol look more or less like the same colour depending on nuance. But these are PETROL! :)
