General earth color tones + a pop color to spice it up

I've always been a fan of blue with brown (especially light brown). I used to have five outfits that were a scheme of tan or brown with white and blue or light blue. Navy and white is always a good go-to combo as well. Lately I've been trying a lot of black and white and black, white and gray. Tried to mix in goldish yellow this summer as well (with navy blues).

It's not so much a color scheme but lately I've discovered that grey might be the most useful color in my wardrobe.

You can pair it with almonst any other color, and it's one of the few colors you can wear multiple shades of in the same outfit and still look good.

I find myself using grey, black and white often. I like high contrast.

Mine is some sort of a blue, unintentionally.

You see... I wear blue to work every day, for the past 7 years. I think subconsciously I'm drawn to blue. I don't think I even know how to coordinate any other colours

Blue/Gray works nice, and general earth tones

dark blue, sometimes red, earth tones + grey. Not that much black, even though it happens... black is a bit too harsh for me, a bit overpowering the rest.

Mostly gray and black; with small bursts of bright color. Combining opposites works well (dark red with aqua especially), but I hate the color orange.

I have fair skin.

All around, any season, navy looks best on me for jackets and sweaters. A second, is green. I can always mix with each color khaki and grey pants and add seasonal "punch" with socks and pocket squares.

I also wear black jackets and white dress shirts with jeans. It is hard to beat them for a cool, minimalist evening look, that still seems right in any major city here and in Europe.
