Red face color combo

My grandson's school colors are Brillent Blue and White. What other colors can I use with Brillent Blue to make a Graduation card?

According to a Stampin' Up! color coach wheel that I have these colors would work for your card. Rose Red, More Mustard & Garden Green are coordinating colors, and Only Orange would be a complementary color. Also, on the wheel is this Dynamic Duo: Brillant Blue and Bashful Blue. Hope this helps and gets you started. Congratulations to your grandson!

Black would be nice, as a matting color or accent.

I immediately thought of silver. Silver paper or silver embossing or silver cord, maybe with a touch of shiny black, too.

Our elementary school's and high school's colors are Brilliant Blue and white, too. Last year when the elementary school's music teacher retired I created this card for the PTA to give him, drawing inspiration from my son's marching band uniform.

I think certain shades of grey could work well too.

I like yellow with brilliant blue. But then again, I always like yellow.

For a grad card I would say black or maybe silver. If it were a birthday card I'd go with red or something like that, but for grad, I'd stay neutral.
