If you want to take it to the next level then contrasting color such as orange or rusty hues is worthy enough to try. Another blue’s neighbor in the color wheel is green. With this color green undertones such as blue-green, teal or aqua are good example for a bright look. Red undertones consist of pink and purple while yellows consist of cream and khaki.
