Revisiting the blue and brown colour combination

Some time ago I wrote a post (here) about the combination of blue and brown. The Sartorialist has just published this photograph, taken in London, which shows how successful a combination thsi can be - here in the brown knitted tie and blue suit.

Try unusual combinations before you reject them; they may unexpectedly be successful. Here the effect is set off by a muted-pink pocket square. Business gent with a twist!

And at popular request - if this colour combination is good enough for the King of Cool (in Bullitt) it's good enough for me.....
