Can someone just list a few basic color combinations for the more common shirt/sweater colors?

for instance, what color sweaters for light blue, pink, and darker colored (navy) shirts, etc.

In general, shoulder lighter colored shirts be matched with a darker colored sweater and vice versa?

I think the color of the jacket (if you are layering) and the trousers are more significant than the color of the shirt.

There should enough contrast between all the parts. "Matching" is not the best word to describe pairings and groupings.
